Recently, many other investment first including BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, HSBC, and Citigroup have enhanced their footprint in the kingdom.  

The expansion comes after Saudi Arabia undertook a range of economic reforms that paved way for capital markets and dealmaking activities within its territory, reported Bloomberg.

Brookfield managing director and regional head of Middle East Jad Ellawn said: “There are vast investment opportunities within our main areas of focus including infrastructure, renewables, private equity and real estate.”

Currently, the company is said to have more than $750bn asset under management.

In September this year, Brookfield won an approval to publicly list and allocate 25% of interest in its asset management arm.
