Al-Hogail said the real estate sector enjoys unlimited support from the Saudi government and that it is one of the pillars of the national economy.

The state is keen to organise and develop the sector, improve supervision mechanisms, raise its efficiency and encourage investment with a view to increasing its contribution to GDP.

The minister said that increased digitisation of the real estate sector in the Kingdom is needed to attract further investment and establish transparency for buyers and sellers.
