Saudi wealth fund PIF's assets under management up 19% in 2024 to $913bn
Assets of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund climbed to $913 billion in 2024, marking a 19 per cent annual rise for the sovereign wealth fund that is key to the kingdom's economic transformation agenda. The fund's annual returns since 2017, however, have fallen to 7.2 per cent, down from 8.7 per cent in 2023, the PIF said in its annual report published on Wednesday. Capital deployment across its priority sectors reached $56.8 billion last year, bringing cumulative investment since the beginning of 2021 to more than $171 billion, the fund said. Total revenue increased by 25 per cent and its cash balance "remains strong and broadly unchanged year on year as PIF maintains its robust liquidity", the report said. The PIF now represents 10 per cent of the nation's non-oil economy, with its cumulative real non-oil GDP contribution between 2021 and 2024 growing to $243 billion. The total number of its portfolio companies at the end of last year had reached 225, of which the PIF created and established 103. 'PIF further established its position as one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds," said Yasir A AlSalman, the PIF's chief financial officer. "PIF continues to innovate to deliver on its mandate and drive economic transformation.' The PIF is leading Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to diversify the kingdom's economy from oil. The PIF, along with related organisations, is driving investment into areas including finance, health care, sport, renewables, technology, the automotive industry, property, aerospace, defence, entertainment, leisure, retail and mining. The fund's domestic holdings include Saudi mining and mineral giant Maaden, petrochemicals major Sabic and the kingdom's biggest lender, Saudi National Bank. It has also launched Riyadh Air – Saudi Arabia's new national carrier – which is set to begin flying this year, the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Company and Lifera, a pharmaceutical investment company. The fund also continues to make key international investments. In December, the PIF and Ardian completed a €4 billion ($4.2 billion) deal to buy a combined 37.62 per cent stake in London's Heathrow Airport from Spanish construction firm Ferrovial and other shareholders of FGP Topco, the parent company of Heathrow Airport Holdings. It has four main sources of funding: capital injections from the government, government asset transfers, retained earnings from investments, and loans and debt instruments. The fund, which received 8 per cent more of Aramco shares from the government last year, has also continued to diversify its funding sources, raising $9.83 billion in public debt and an additional $7 billion in private debt, it said in the report. 'The 2024 results highlight PIF's transition from digital transformation to digital leadership, with artificial intelligence and automation together becoming a vital part of operations," said Maram Al Johani, PIF's acting chief of staff and secretary general to the board. "In 2024, PIF completed 58 digital projects, launched 15 new applications and automated more than 477 processes, enabling insights, strategy and the creation of economic value.' The PIF also raised its target for assets under management by 2030 to $2.67 trillion, up nearly 43 per cent from its original target of $1.87 trillion, the annual report released by the Saudi government's Vision 2030 in April said. The fund has helped create 1.1 million jobs in the kingdom as of 2024, up from 77,700 in 2021, the report found.

Lufthansa to relaunch nonstop flight from Riyadh to Munich
Lufthansa, a German airline, is set to expand its capacity in Saudi Arabia by around 50 per cent with a new connection from Riyadh to Munich, starting on 27 October 2025. This route had previously been part of Lufthansa's schedule until 2017. The modern Lufthansa Airbus A350-900 will operate the new service, accommodating up to 300 passengers every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. This route will connect Riyadh to Munich, a five-star airport terminal recognised by Skytrax, providing an ideal link to the global Lufthansa network. The new flight to Germany departs from Riyadh every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:25 a.m., arriving in Munich at 10:25 a.m. local time. The return flight to Riyadh leaves Munich every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 9:45 p.m. for a night flight to the capital of Saudi Arabia, where it is scheduled to land the next morning at 4:50 a.m. local time at King Khalid International Airport. Sadiq Mohamed, General Manager of Sales for Saudi Arabia at Lufthansa Group Airlines, said: 'Munich is one of the most popular destinations in Western Europe for many of our customers. The airport itself is a relaxing, convenient, and beautiful gateway, whether travellers are connecting onward or visiting the city and its stunning surrounding region, known for its castles and picturesque lakes near the Alps.' Lufthansa currently offers daily flights from Dammam and Riyadh to Frankfurt. ITA Airways offers five weekly flights from Riyadh and three weekly flights from Jeddah to Rome, while Eurowings operates seven times a week from Jeddah to Berlin, Cologne, and Stuttgart this winter. These three Lufthansa Group airlines will provide a total of 25 flights a week to Saudi Arabia, with the airlines of the Lufthansa Group flying to the Middle East region more than 120 times a week. Lufthansa has a long tradition in Saudi Arabia, having operated flights to the Kingdom for 65 years. The demand for flights from Riyadh is steadily growing, and the increased air capacity will facilitate easy access to the heart of the Arabian Peninsula for events like the World Expo 2030 and the FIFA Men's World Cup in 2034, as part of the Saudi Vision 2030 initiative. Munich Airport, one of Lufthansa's two major hubs, opens up around 130 global destinations for Saudi Arabian travellers, particularly to Europe, America, and Asia.
