Saudi REITs are underperforming even as the Kingdom’s property sector shows strong momentum. Rising interest rates, constrained liquidity, and regional geopolitical tensions have weighed heavily on investor sentiment, triggering sharp share price declines across listed funds. Market analysts warn that without stronger diversification and more flexible capital strategies, the sector risks continued stagnation. While Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is fueling major real estate development and economic transformation, REITs have yet to capture the full benefits. Experts emphasize that improving resilience and broadening investment portfolios will be key if Saudi REITs are to align with the Kingdom’s long-term growth ambitions.
