Saudi Arabia has increased its holdings of United States Treasury securities to approximately $134.4 billion in 2025, according to the latest official data from the US Department of the Treasury.

The rise in holdings underscores Riyadh’s continued use of US government bonds as a core component of its foreign exchange reserves, providing liquidity and risk-averse investment amid global economic uncertainties.

Data shows that Saudi Arabia’s Treasury holdings climbed by more than $1 billion on a month-on-month basis, maintaining the kingdom’s position among the world’s top holders of US government debt.

The portfolio remains heavily weighted toward long-term bonds, which accounted for roughly eighty per cent of the total, with the remainder in shorter-dated securities.

Riyadh’s strategy of steadily increasing its Treasury holdings reflects a broader approach to reserve management that balances yield, liquidity and diversification.

Saudi officials have noted that such holdings help safeguard the kingdom’s vast energy-driven foreign earnings, ensuring access to highly liquid assets that can be mobilised in response to market shifts or strategic needs.

Analysts also say the pattern of increases through 2025 suggests investor confidence in US sovereign debt amid fluctuating interest rate environments and geopolitical developments.

Saudi Arabia’s place among leading global holders of US Treasuries aligns with its broader economic policies under Vision 2030, which aim to bolster financial resilience while managing foreign reserves prudently across asset classes.

While the kingdom’s overall foreign reserves have varied in recent months due to broader market movements and reserve adjustments, Treasury securities have remained a key element attracting sustained investment flows.
