The Philippines is planning a halal trade mission to Saudi Arabia next year, aiming to strengthen economic ties and boost its halal industry. This initiative aligns well with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, under which startups in the region saw remarkable investments, especially in sectors fostered by economic diversification efforts.

Speaking of economic growth, Oman is witnessing a 13.3% surge in its money supply, reflecting broad diversification strategies as it seeks to reduce dependence on oil. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is taking strides to increase national savings with a new Shariah-compliant Sah sukuk offering a 4.92% return, a savvy move under the Vision 2030 Financial Sector Development Program.

This financial initiative is not just a boost for national savings but also reflects Saudi Arabia's dynamic commercial environment, as evidenced by a 62% jump in the issuance of commercial records driven by new laws and emerging sectors.

Among these emerging financial products is the October issue of the Sah sukuk, also accessible to individual Saudi investors, emphasizing a robust Sharia-compliant investment strategy.

The introduction of these financial tools contributes to a healthier savings culture and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s efforts to enhance financial literacy through Vision 2030.

Overall, these initiatives across the region are crafting a robust economic fabric, driven by innovative financial products and strategic economic plans, from the Philippines’ halal mission to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious savings and commercial growth.
