Overview of the Saudi Banking Sector
• Role of banks critical in contributing to corporate growth
• Shareholder equity not always the most efficient way to fund
growth (cost of equity greater than cost of financing)
• Low relative corporate leverage in Saudi compared to
international benchmarks provides scope for growth through
bank financing and capital market issuance8

through awareness / grants / guarantee)

investment products to optimize returns)
• Development of capital market activity (secondary
market for bonds / Sukuks and securitization)

schemes, retirement plans etc.
