In recent years, Saudi Arabia has achieved the fastest rise in female employment that any country has ever seen. Targets set for Vision 2030 have already been surpassed. In this month’s Themes from FIM, we suggest this has played a significant role in rising per capita GDP and examine how it fits with the 40%+ upside in per capita GDP forecast in academic literature. We suggest it will add $8,000 to Saudi per capita GDP in the next 5 years, will lift overall GDP by 10-20% over the long-term, and help Saudi Arabia’s per capita GDP converge towards levels seen in France. We highlight that the timing of this surge is ideal, given improving female education and Saudi’s double demographic dividend. We outline sectors like banking and finance - seeing 100% growth in female customers for one large bank since 2015 - or housing, where rising female employment is a big driver of growth.

Join us on the 2nd of July at 11:00 BST / 12:00 CEST / 14:00 GST as Mehdi Kaoukabi , Portfolio Manager at FIM Partners, discusses the opportunities available to investors in MENA equities in a webcast moderated by IPE. With the MENA region becoming a significant part of the MSCI EM Index over the past few years, it is a space that is increasingly interesting for EM investors. As one of the fastest growing markets in the emerging world, we believe there is a structural case to hold MENA equities for global institutional investors and asset allocators. https://lnkd.in/d8UUmsBC
