Saudi EXIM Bank's H1 credit facilities surge 44% to $6.29bn
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's Export-Import Bank boosted credit facilities by 44 percent in the first half of the year, reaching SR23.61 billion ($6.29 billion), as the state lender stepped up efforts to accelerate non-oil export growth. Export financing disbursements rose 26.2 percent to SR8.87 billion in the six months to June, while credit insurance coverage surged 58.8 percent to SR14.74 billion, the Saudi Press Agency reported. The growth supports the bank's mandate to help double the Kingdom's industrial exports from SR254 billion in 2022 to SR557 billion by 2030, and SR892 billion by 2035, in line with the National Industrial Strategy. 'The leap achieved by the bank in the credit facilities provided during this year reflects the extent of the tireless efforts and strategic plans that seek to achieve all economic development goals,' said Saad bin Abdulaziz Al-Khalb, CEO of Saudi EXIM Bank. He added that the bank's progress since its inception underscores its role in building a diversified and sustainable national economy. With an increase exceeding 44% in the first half of 2025, #SaudiEXIM continues to achieve milestones and figures that reflect its role in empowering Saudi exporters and enhancing the competitiveness of our national non-oil products in global markets.#ExpandGlobally — بنك التصدير والاستيراد السعودي (@SaudiEXIM) August 11, 2025 The lender launched the 'Bridges Initiative' to align with the Kingdom's industrial transformation to speed up access to industrial inputs and enhance export competitiveness. The program is expected to expand opportunities for Saudi non-oil exports and introduce more flexible financing solutions. 'Among the achievements made during this period is the bank's obtaining its first credit rating from Fitch International with an A+ rating, which reflects the bank's creditworthiness and commitment to the highest standards of efficiency and transparency,' said Al-Khalb. Fitch Ratings assigns an A+ rating to entities with an exceptionally strong capacity to meet financial commitments and a low expectation of default risk. The agency cited the bank's strategic importance as a government-owned entity and its central role in export financing, guarantees, and insurance. Saudi EXIM Bank, affiliated with the National Development Fund, is working to diversify the Kingdom's economic base by enhancing the efficiency of the national non-oil export system, bridging financing gaps, and reducing export risks. On the sidelines of the African Development Bank Group's annual meetings in Cote d'Ivoire in May, the bank signed four agreements to strengthen trade and investment ties across the continent. The deals were signed by Al-Khalb with Africa50, the Ghana Export-Import Bank, Blend International Ltd., and Guinea's Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation, according to SPA.
