Saudi Arabia Rolls out New Law Allowing Non-Residents to Purchase Property

Saudi Arabia's Cabinet has approved a digital identification system allowing non-Saudi, non-resident foreigners to purchase property in the Kingdom, according to Gulf News. The Cabinet also approved a governance framework for non-Saudi property ownership and usufruct rights, based on recommendations from the Strategic Committee of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs. Part of this framework includes establishing a dedicated committee within the authority's board to oversee the sector. Moreover, the General Real Estate Authority, in coordination with the Ministry of Interior, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority, the National Information Centre and other relevant agencies, will have the authority to develop mechanisms for implementing the digital ID in preparation for the rollout of the Non-Saudi Real Estate Ownership Law. The new ownership law, approved in last July, is set take effect in January 2026. In August, the authority released draft executive regulations stipulating that non-resident foreigners must meet the following requirements in order to acquire or utilize property in the Kingdom: Obtaining and activating a digital ID via the government's Absher platform Opening a Saudi bank account Registering a local contact number By streamlining transactions and boosting regulatory oversight, the new measure will attract more foreign investment into Saudi Arabia's evolving real estate market.

Jordanian business chief hails EU as key partner in supporting Jordan's economy

AMMAN: The EU remains one of Jordan's most important economic partners, playing a vital role in supporting the country's economy through financial assistance, grants, and investments, Jordanian European Business Association President Ali Murad said on Saturday. Murad described the Jordan-EU partnership as a 'living model of constructive cooperation' that has helped Jordan confront economic crises amid regional and international challenges, the Jordan News Agency reported. He also praised King Abdullah II's 'great efforts' to strengthen cooperation, particularly in the economic sector. The JEBA president said that the partnership has witnessed 'remarkable development' since the signing of a strategic agreement earlier this year, reflecting the EU's commitment to supporting Jordan's economic goals. On Wednesday, the Cabinet approved a financing agreement and memorandum of understanding covering €500 million ($585 million) in EU financial assistance, part of a €3 billion package agreed for 2025–2027. The package, signed in the presence of King Abdullah in January, includes €640 million in grants, €1.4 billion in investments, and around €1 billion in macroeconomic support. 'Through this financial package, the EU demonstrates its commitment to strengthening the strategic partnership with Jordan and its appreciation for the Kingdom's pivotal role in the region,' Murad said. He added that the agreement was a 'significant step' in advancing Jordan-EU ties, with positive impacts expected on the national economy and treasury as implementation begins. According to official data, trade between Jordan and the EU reached JD1.129 billion ($1.6 billion) in the first four months of 2025, up from JD1.025 billion during the same period last year. National exports to EU markets rose 14.4 percent to JD143 million, compared with JD125 million a year earlier.
