RIYADH: The Embassy of Switzerland in Riyadh hosted a networking event on Sunday evening to launch Tenity’s KSA Fintech Opportunity Report 2025, featuring presentations from industry experts.
“Switzerland is a very important player in the financial sector, it has been for a long, long time, Saudi Arabia as well but in a different way and what is really exciting is Saudi Arabia is entering a new chapter in developing its fintech industry and there’s a lot of experience already in Switzerland,” Yasmine Chatila, Switzerland’s ambassador to the Kingdom, told Arab News.
“It is really great to have these kinds of collaborations because in the past we did not,” she said. “The nice thing about my job is we are entering into new sectors of cooperation and collaboration every year, and fintech is one of those.”
In her opening remarks, the ambassador pointed out that Saudi Arabia and Switzerland will commemorate 70 years of diplomatic relations in 2026.
“Today our relations are really underpinned by shared values of innovation, excellence, and international cooperation, and this is what brings us together on so many more and more new topics,” Chatila said.
