RIYADH: Saudi Arabia must invest in national talent alongside regulatory reforms to build a modern financial oversight system, Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan said.
Speaking at the Financial Oversight Forum, Al-Jadaan said developing an effective oversight framework requires sustained investment in human capabilities through training and development programs.
This aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to build future-ready skills, including the launch of the National Skills Platform in April to equip the workforce with capabilities aligned with global trends.
It also comes as the Kingdom’s financial ecosystem reached a record SR1 trillion ($267 billion) in locally managed assets in 2024, marking a key milestone in its transformation under Vision 2030.
“Institutions don't advance through systems alone, but also through the culture of their employees,” Al-Jadaan said during his speech.
