The Public Investment Fund (PIF) is in talks with a number of international companies to invest in Saudi Arabia, Financial Times reported, citing governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan.

 

The sovereign wealth fund is already in discussion with a number of foreign firms in the health sector, in addition to other companies with SoftBank Vision Fund as an investor.

 

Al-Rumayyan also noted that negotiations are ongoing with Lucid Motors Co. to build an electric vehicle (EV) plant in Saudi Arabia.

According to the data compiled by Argaam, Al-Rumayyan recently said that the PIF owns 67% of Lucid Motors Co., with investments amounting to $1.3 billion.
