ROSHN Group, a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), has been ranked among the 25 most powerful real estate brands in the world by Brand Finance, a leading global brand valuation consultancy. This marks the first time a Saudi real estate company has achieved this recognition.
Brand Finance valued ROSHN Group at over $1 billion, citing its strong financial and commercial performance, as well as its ambitious strategic and marketing initiatives.
The company's newly launched corporate identity reflects its expanded focus, which now includes hospitality, sports, residential and commercial development, and the retail sector.
The report commended ROSHN's commitment to innovation and sustainability, along with its pivotal role in advancing national development goals in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
Surpassing the $1 billion brand value milestone is seen as a clear indication of ROSHN's growing impact and its strategic contribution to the future of real estate development in the Kingdom.
Last month, ROSHN was also named the highest-ranking real estate brand in Saudi Arabia and recognized as the best-performing new brand in the region.

Saudi Arabia imposes anti-dumping duties on stainless steel imports from China, Taiwan
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is set to impose final anti-dumping duties on imports of steel and stainless steel pipes originating from China and Taiwan, effective June 30, for a period of five years. The duties, issued by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Kingdom's General Authority of Foreign Trade Majid Al-Qassabi, specifically target pipes with longitudinally welded circular sections, according to a statement. This reflects Saudi Arabia's goal to enhance the competitiveness of national products, attract investment, and foster new industries, ultimately contributing to the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals. It also aligns with the fact that Saudi Arabia's real gross domestic product grew by 3.4 percent in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, according to estimates by the General Authority for Statistics. In terms of duty rates, the newly released statement said: 'People's Republic of China: ranged from 6.5 percent to 24.6 percent of CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) value not less than 1.750 to 4.111 per kilogram.' It added: 'Taiwan: ranged from 23.7 percent to 27.3 percent of CIF value, not less than 2.822 to 3.141 per kilogram.' The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority has been directed to implement and collect duties ranging from 6.5 percent to 27.3 percent, depending on the manufacturer, as detailed in the official announcement, the Saudi Press Agency reported. 'The measure follows the final results of an investigation launched on May 2, 2024, after the local industry submitted a formal complaint. The investigation was conducted in accordance with the Law of Trade Remedies in International Trade and its executive regulations, designed to protect the domestic market from unfair trade practices such as dumping,' SPA said. It added: 'GAFT emphasized that this step is part of broader efforts to safeguard national industries, enhance the Kingdom's position in global trade, and contribute to the country's economic growth.' The Kingdom's anti-dumping duties aim to protect domestic industries from unfair trade practices by foreign exporters. Specifically, they seek to protect local businesses from the adverse effects of dumping and subsidized imports. These measures also help prevent surges in imports that could harm domestic industries and protect Saudi exports from similar trade-remedy measures imposed by other countries. In June 2024, ZATCA relaxed the temporary admission regulations for heavy machinery and equipment. This policy change benefits international contractors working on major infrastructure projects by reducing customs duties on temporary imports and eliminating the need for frequent renewals, thereby facilitating smoother and more cost-effective project execution.
