Riyadh, January 09, 2025 – The Saudi Export-Import Bank (Saudi EXIM) has been announced as the strategic partner for the 4th edition of the Future Minerals Forum (FMF), a premier event organized by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources. Set to take place from January 14 to 16 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, this year’s forum will be held under the theme “Year of Impact.”
As a key strategic partner, Saudi EXIM will play an instrumental role in the forum, actively engaging in discussions and showcasing its range of financial products and solutions designed to boost the global competitiveness of Saudi Arabia’s mining and mineral export sectors. The bank’s participation reflects its critical role in facilitating investment opportunities and strengthening the Kingdom's mining industry. Saudi EXIM’s involvement is expected to deepen the dialogue on financing mechanisms, trade facilitation, and strategic partnerships that are essential for the continued growth and development of the mining sector.
The Future Minerals Forum will serve as a significant platform for exploring the future of the mining industry in the region, addressing both challenges and opportunities in mineral development. With a diverse lineup of esteemed industry leaders, policymakers, and experts, the forum aims to foster collaboration and promote actionable solutions that align with global trends impacting the mining landscape. Discussions will cover a broad spectrum of topics, including sustainable mining practices, investment strategies, and technological advancements in exploration and extraction processes.
Saudi EXIM’s partnership with the forum underscores its growing importance as a key player in supporting the Kingdom’s economic diversification goals under Saudi Vision 2030. As a developmental institution under the National Development Fund (NDF), the bank is uniquely positioned to support initiatives that strengthen Saudi Arabia’s non-oil export sector, particularly in areas such as minerals and other industrial products.
The bank plays a pivotal role in bridging financing gaps for Saudi businesses looking to expand internationally, particularly in sectors that are crucial for economic diversification. By providing credit solutions that mitigate export risks, Saudi EXIM empowers local companies to enter new markets and grow their global presence. Through these efforts, Saudi EXIM helps foster sustainable economic growth, not only within the mining sector but across a broader range of industries in Saudi Arabia.
In addition to its financing capabilities, Saudi EXIM’s participation in the Future Minerals Forum will highlight the bank’s commitment to stimulating investment and business opportunities that benefit the Kingdom’s broader economic ambitions. By facilitating access to capital and global trade networks, the bank is helping to build a resilient and competitive export ecosystem that can propel the Kingdom toward achieving its Vision 2030 goals.
As the Kingdom continues to expand its mining and mineral exports, Saudi EXIM’s strategic partnership with the Future Minerals Forum reflects its ongoing commitment to driving the growth of these critical sectors. The forum’s focus on innovation, investment, and collaboration is aligned with Saudi EXIM’s mission to support the Kingdom's diversification strategy and further elevate Saudi Arabia’s position as a global leader in mining and mineral development.
With its robust participation, Saudi EXIM aims to not only contribute to the dialogue shaping the future of minerals but also to advance solutions that foster long-term growth and sustainability in the mining industry, both regionally and globally. The bank’s involvement in the Future Minerals Forum is a testament to its pivotal role in the Kingdom’s economic transformation and its steadfast support of Vision 2030.
