New enforcement system aims to secure rights, not harm individuals, says Saudi justice minister
RIYADH: Saudi Minister of Justice Walid Al-Samaani has said that the new enforcement system, approved by the Cabinet in April, is built on a balanced philosophy that preserves the creditor’s right to obtain their due while taking into account the fundamental rights of the debtor and their family.
Al-Samaani told Al-Eqtisadiah that the objective of the new system is to secure rights, “not to harm individuals.”
The minister stated: “Rights are not fully protected merely by the issuance of a judgment or instrument, but rather by their efficient and reliable enforcement, which strengthens the business environment and enhances confidence in financial and commercial transactions.”
He noted that 2025 recorded 1.6 million enforcement requests valued at SR165 billion ($43.9 billion).
