Lenovo's Saudi expansion to add $10bn to non-oil GDP with new Riyadh HQ in Al Majdoul Tower
Lenovo has confirmed plans to establish its Regional Headquarters (RHQ) in Riyadh's Al Majdoul Tower and unveiled its new executive leadership team for Saudi Arabia and, a move the company says will contribute up to $10bn to the Kingdom's non-oil GDP by 2030. The announcement marks a key milestone in Lenovo's Middle East growth strategy and reinforces its long-term commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, digital transformation, and industrial diversification goals. The RHQ will serve as Lenovo's regional hub, housing operations in R&D, retail, marketing, partnerships, and customer engagement, while positioning the global tech giant at the heart of Riyadh's innovation ecosystem. Lenovo in Saudi Arabia Al Majdoul Tower is already home to several PIF entities, ministries, and technology companies, placing Lenovo at the centre of Saudi Arabia's transformation drive. Lenovo's strategy in Saudi Arabia is closely tied to its collaboration with ALAT, a Public Investment Fund (PIF)-owned company. Together, they broke ground in February 2025 on a 200,000sqm advanced manufacturing facility in the Riyadh Integrated zone, operated by the Special Integrated Logistics Zone (SILZ). Expected to be operational by 2026, the plant will produce millions of 'Saudi Made' devices and, combined with the RHQ, is projected to add up to $10bn to Saudi Arabia's non-oil GDP by 2030. Matt Dobrodziej, Senior Vice President and President, Lenovo EMEA, said: 'The confirmation of Al Majdoul Tower as the future location of Lenovo's Regional Headquarters, alongside the appointment of our new executive leadership team for Saudi Arabia and RHQ, marks a major milestone in our regional strategy. 'Through our strategic partnership with ALAT and investment in advanced manufacturing, we are proud to contribute to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 by supporting industrial diversification, accelerating digital transformation, and enabling sustainable economic growth. 'Our initiatives in Saudi Arabia, including the RHQ, flagship retail space, and the Riyadh-based manufacturing facility are projected to contribute up to $10bn to non-oil GDP by 2030, reinforcing our commitment to the Kingdom's long-term development.' To drive this expansion, Lenovo has named a new leadership team: Lawrence Yu, Head of Regional Headquarters: A Lenovo veteran of 15 years who helped secure the ALAT partnership and Riyadh site Giovanni Di Filippo, Vice President and General Manager, Lenovo Saudi Arabia: Previously grew Lenovo's EMEA ISG market share from 6 per cent to 14 per cent Zoran Radumilo, Chief Technology Officer, Lenovo Saudi Arabia: A 25-year enterprise technology leader with expertise in AI, cloud, and software The RHQ in Riyadh will anchor Lenovo's broader regional strategy, including a flagship retail store, VIP customer centre, and new innovation hubs, while strengthening ties with government and enterprise clients across priority sectors such as energy, telecom, finance, and smart cities. Together with the Riyadh manufacturing facility, these initiatives position Lenovo as a long-term partner in the Kingdome's digital and industrial transformation.

The foreign operator certificate, granted after VistaJet met all requirements and standards under the Civil Aviation Law, will take effect from May 1, 2025. It allows foreign private jet operators to run on-demand flights within the Kingdom. Private jet flights in Saudi Arabia GACA said the move represents a major step in advancing the goals of the Aviation Program, a key initiative under the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which aims to make Saudi Arabia the leading aviation hub in the Middle East by 2030. The program also supports the Kingdom's ambition to transform into a global logistics hub connecting three continents. According to GACA, the certification of VistaJet reflects its commitment to applying the highest safety standards and marks progress toward enhancing the quality of private aviation services. It also aligns with efforts to create an attractive investment environment and foster partnerships that boost the competitiveness of the aviation sector.

Gold firms as dollar weakens, focus on Fed minutes and Jackson Hole
Gold rose on Wednesday as the U.S. dollar eased, while market participants braced for the minutes of the U.S. central bank's last policy meeting and upcoming Jackson Hole symposium for clues on future interest rate moves. Spot gold was up 0.8% to $3,341.50 per ounce, by 11:37 a.m. EDT (1537 GMT) after hitting its lowest level since August 1 earlier. U.S. gold futures gained 0.8% to $3,386.10. The U.S. dollar eased, making dollar-priced-bullion more affordable for other currency holders. The Federal Reserve July meeting minutes, due at 2:00 p.m. EDT, will be released two days ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the annual Jackson Hole economic symposium on Friday. Last month's decision by the Fed to hold interest rates unchanged prompted dissent from two central bankers, who wanted to lower rates to guard against further weakening of the job market. "Gold prices fell yesterday, so now traders are looking at it as an opportunity to get into gold ahead of the Fed minutes," said RJO Futures market strategist Bob Haberkorn. "If Powell is dovish, it's bullish for gold, as it does not bear interest. It will need to break through $3,350/oz and then ultimately retest $3,400/oz if he's dovish," he added. Traders currently expect an 85% chance of a quarter-point rate cut in September, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump called on Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign, intensifying his effort to gain influence over the central bank on the basis of allegations made by one of his allies about mortgages Cook holds in Michigan and Georgia. Goldman Sachs maintained its $4,000/toz mid-2026 forecast, citing structurally strong central bank demand, ETF inflows supported by Fed easing, and a 30% probability of a U.S. recession within 12 months. Among other metals, spot silver rose 1.1% to $37.76 per ounce, platinum gained 2.5% to $1,338.39 while palladium fell 0.6% at $1,108.59.
