As the Middle East accelerates its economic growth and transformation, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are emerging as major destinations for global investment. The most prominent example of this trend is the interest of global investors thanks to the region’s political stability, transparency, and strong banking infrastructure, but most importantly, the unprecedented growth that makes this region the focus of attention of many investors from various sectors.

Kevin O’Leary, the well-known investor and star of SharkTank, spoke to CNN Business about his vision for the future of investment in the region, explaining that what attracts investors today is the rapid growth that the region is experiencing.

He pointed out that Saudi Arabia, through Vision 2030, has set a global mandate to lead an economic transformation that includes multiple sectors away from dependence on oil, which is of interest to investors from all over the world.
