A recent report reveals that from 2020 to 2024, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman attracted only $24 billion of the $1 trillion global green foreign direct investment (FDI), despite investing $132 billion abroad. The GCC holds competitive advantages, including the world’s lowest solar energy production costs, yet only captured 2% of global inflows. Experts advocate for stronger policies and investments to transform the region into a hub for climate-aligned capital, emphasizing the need for clearer regulations and incentives to attract more green investments.
