The Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund plans to accelerate the placing on the market of bonds or obtaining bank loans as it seeks new sources of liquidity to help finance Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's $1 trillion economic transformation project. The Public Investment Fund could also align offers of shares in the companies in its portfolio as part of this initiative, according to people close to the file. These measures come at a time when the fund's liquidity reserves fell to $15 billion in September, the lowest level since 2020, the first year for which data are available. As it seeks to intensify its fundraising efforts, the $940 billion PIF is wary of draining too much cash from the local banking system, people familiar with the issue said. Instead, the fund is pushing its subsidiaries to rely on dollar loans whenever possible, they said. This would allow local banks, which are struggling with rising borrowing costs, to focus on financing real estate projects in the kingdom. The solution we can offer to the sovereign fund #PIF is to tokenize its sukuk and bonds. This would allow a sharp increase in liquidity and will meet part of the need. #saudiarabia #saudivision2030 #sukutokenisation #sukuk #Bonds #Tbills #USD #mohammedbinsalman #vision2030 #swf #pif
