CMA Chairman: GCC residents can now invest in Saudi market
This announced followed the Saudi market regulator's approval for amendments to investment account regulations that allow current GCC residents, and those who previously resided in Saudi Arabia or other GCC countries, to directly invest in the Saudi main market.
Elkuwaiz said: 'As the new amendments are approved, Gulf residents — or those who have previously lived in the Kingdom or the GCC — can continue investing in the Saudi financial market even after returning to their home countries.'
This step enhances the market's openness to foreign investors, while building long-term investment relationships with a broader range of investors around the world, within a more flexible and attractive regulatory framework, he added.

Pakistan, Bahrain vow to boost security cooperation
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Bahrain have resolved to further strengthen their security collaboration in various fields, Pakistani state media reported on Saturday. The consensus was reached during a meeting between Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and his Bahraini counterpart, General Sheikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al-Khalifa, in Manama. The two sides held discussions on bilateral cooperation in counter-terrorism, combating human trafficking and anti-narcotics efforts as well as to make Pakistan-Bahrain Joint Security Committee more effective. 'Enhancing cooperation in counter-narcotics and anti-human trafficking efforts is the need of the hour,' Naqvi was quoted as saying by the Radio Pakistan broadcaster. The Bahraini interior minister said his country valued Pakistan's cooperation in security and other fields. Bahrain is one of the important countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and a favorite destination for the Pakistani workforce since the early 1970s, according to the Pakistani foreign ministry. Both countries have a Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) at the level of the foreign ministers and a trade volume that has ranged between $500 million and $1 billion in recent years.

Saudi Arabia confirms full compliance with OPEC+ agreement
The Ministry of Energy confirmed that Saudi Arabia remains fully compliant with the OPEC+ agreement. The marketed crude oil supply in June averaged 9.352 million barrels per day (bpd). The figure reflects full compliance with the agreed quota. Amid elevated geopolitical tensions, the Kingdom emphasized that it acted prudently and preemptively in managing its energy output. The Ministry described Saudi Arabia's role as that of a reliable, transparent, and dependable energy supplier, reinforcing the country's efforts to enhance supply chain resilience and support global energy security. Although crude production briefly surpassed marketed supply, the additional volumes were not sold either domestically or internationally. Instead, they were managed as part of a broader contingency strategy.
