The roll-out of vaccinations offer hope for life and business to get back to near
normal, and recovery of oil price appears to be stable in KSA with positive trends
going forward into 2021 and beyond. The same tends have been apparent across
other global markets suggesting back to regularity with the caution of implementing
social distancing rules and wearing of masks, etc., though the threat remains as
observed with many countries across the Asian sub-continent, Europe and South
America suffering from a heavy bout of the new variant virus of COVID-19.
The KSA economy appears stable within a recovery mode on the back of higher oil
demand and private consumption along with KSA’s Vision 2030 looks to diversify the
economy away from oil through focusing on direct foreign investment, tourism and
the increase of locals in the workforce.

Though the recent budget revealed, the budget deficit remains amounting to SR7.44
billion in the first quarter of this year, the ministry revealed that the total funding for
the deficit amounted to SR29.55 billion. The cost of risk is also likely to stay elevated
in 2021 reflecting the volatile global health situation and international travel
restrictions still weigh on the economies across continents and globally affecting
Middle East and KSA.
The real estate traditional determinants of location and value for money continue to
be a key success influencing property and accommodation preference though
investors in KSA are also no less sensitive to asset classes and the location of
property providing investor expectations and stable long-term income for portfolios
and funds. Equally, strong investor appetite remains for ‘best in class’ / ‘Institutional
Asset Class – Grade A’ / good quality property providing long term income.
With all positive activity and investment by the government creating opportunities
through projects across the Kingdom and through the creation of the Giga projects
and a previous stimulus packages of SAR 120 billion plus has meant a stable KSA
economy with positive outlook going forward throughout 2021 and beyond.
Since the last exercise in December 2020 prices have largely remained unchanged,
although we have made adjustments based upon information provided and/or
conditions of property leases. We expect the subject mixed portfolio referred in this
report to remain stable in the foreseeable future subject to ongoing maintenance,
upkeep of the property and to provide yield stability with the real estate sector
generally follows the fortunes of the greater economy. A funds performance relies
on the performance of the underlying income generating investments and there is
counterparty default risk that could affect the value of your investment. Past
performance and forecasts are not reliable indicator of future results.
Burj Al Hayat Hotel - we understand from the client they are in the process of
considering a new operator and have received an offer in consideration of a rental
income of SAR 1.5 million per annum. It is below market conditions as the new
operator will carry out CAPEX works on the subject property (Burj Al Hayat Hotel).
Further details to be confirmed by the client.
Property values are subject to fluctuation over time as market conditions may
change. Valuation considered full figure and may not be easily achievable in the
event of an early re-sale. It also must be borne in mind that capital values can fall as
well as rise. The client is advised that whilst all reasonable measures have been
taken to supply an accurate valuation as possible as at the Valuation date, this figure
should be considered in the context of the volatility of today’s marketplace.
For the purpose of this, we have assumed that a good and marketable title is held free
from any encumbrances, mortgages, charges, third party interests, etc. Should this
not be the case, we reserve the right to amend our valuation and report.

We are unaware of planning or other proposals in the area or other matters which
would be of detriment to the subject properties, although your legal representative
should make their usual searches and enquiries in this respect.
We have assumed that the properties are not subject to any unusual or especially
onerous restrictions, encumbrances or outgoings and good title can be shown. For
the avoidance of doubt, these items should be ascertained by the client’s legal
representatives. ValuStrat draws your attention to any assumptions made within this
report. We consider that the assumptions we have made accord with those that would
be reasonable to expect a purchaser to make. We are unaware of any adverse
conditions which may affect future marketability for the subject properties. It is
assumed that the subject properties are freehold and are not subject to any rights,
obligations, restrictions and covenants.
This report should be read in conjunction with all the information set out in this report,
we would point out that we have made various assumptions as to tenure, town
planning and associated valuation opinions. If any of the assumptions on which the
valuation is based is subsequently found to be incorrect, then the figures presented
in this report may also need revision and should be referred back to the valuer.
Note that property values are subject to fluctuation over time as market conditions
may change. Valuation considered full figure and may not be easily achievable in the
event of an early re-sale. The client is advised that whilst all reasonable measures
have been taken to supply an accurate valuation as possible as at the Valuation date,
this figure should be considered in the context of the volatility of today’s marketplace.
The valuation assumes that the freehold title should confirm arrangements for future
management of the buildings and maintenance provisions are adequate, and no
onerous obligations affecting the valuation. This should be confirmed by your legal
advisers.
This executive summary and valuation should not be considered other than as part
of the entire report.

2 VALUATION REPORT
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for the instruction regarding the subject valuation services.
8 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA
Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
the IVSCs International Valuation Standards (IVS) as set out in the IVS General
Standards, IVS Asset Standards, and IVS Valuation Applications.
The valuation of the subject property, and for the above stated purpose, has been
undertaken on the Market Value basis of valuation in compliance with the above-
mentioned Valuation Standards as promulgated by the IVSC and adopted by the
RICS. Market Value is defined as: -
The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the
valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties have each acted
knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The definition of Market Value is applied in accordance with the following conceptual
framework:
“The estimated amount” refers to a price expressed in terms of money payable for
the asset in an arm’s length market transaction. Market value is the most probable
price reasonably obtainable in the market on the valuation date in keeping with the
market value definition. It is the best price reasonably obtainable by the seller and
the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable by the buyer. This estimate
specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or
circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special
considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any
element of special value;
“an asset should exchange” refers to the fact that the value of an asset is an
estimated amount rather than a predetermined amount or actual sale price. It is the
price in a transaction that meets all the elements of the market value definition at the
valuation date;
“on the valuation date” requires that the value is time specific as of a given date.
Because markets and market conditions may change, the estimated value may be
incorrect or inappropriate at another time. The valuation amount will reflect the
market state and circumstances as at the valuation date, not those at any other date;
“between a willing buyer” refers to one who is motivated, but not compelled to buy.
This buyer is neither over eager nor determined to buy at any price. This buyer is
also one who purchases in accordance with the realities of the current market and
with current market expectations, rather than in relation to an imaginary or
hypothetical market that cannot be demonstrated or anticipated to exist. The
assumed buyer would not pay a higher price than the market requires. The present
owner is included among those who constitute “the market”;
9 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA
Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
“and a willing seller” is neither an over eager nor a forced seller prepared to sell at
any price, nor one prepared to hold out for a price not considered reasonable in the
current market. The willing seller is motivated to sell the asset at market terms for
the best price attainable in the open market after proper marketing, whatever that
price may be. The factual circumstances of the actual owner are not a part of this
consideration because the willing seller is a hypothetical owner;
“after proper marketing” means that the asset would be exposed to the market in
the most appropriate manner to effect its disposal at the best price reasonably
obtainable in accordance with the market value definition. The method of sale is
deemed to be that most appropriate to obtain the best price in the market to which
the seller has access. The length of exposure time is not a fixed period but will vary
according to the type of asset and market conditions. The only criterion is that there
must have been sufficient time to allow the asset to be brought to the attention of an
adequate number of market participants. The exposure period occurs prior to the
valuation date;
‘where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently’ presumes that
both the willing buyer and the willing seller are reasonably informed about the nature
and characteristics of the asset, its actual and potential uses and the state of the
market as of the valuation date. Each is further presumed to use that knowledge
prudently to seek the price that is most favorable for their respective positions in the
transaction. Prudence is assessed by referring to the state of the market at the
valuation date, not with benefit of hindsight at some later date. For example, it is not
necessarily imprudent for a seller to sell assets in a market with falling prices at a
price that is lower than previous market levels. In such cases, as is true for other
exchanges in markets with changing prices, the prudent buyer or seller will act in
accordance with the best market information available at the time;
‘and without compulsion’ establishes that each party is motivated to undertake the
transaction, but neither is forced or unduly coerced to complete it.
Market value is the basis of value that is most commonly required, being an
internationally recognized definition. It describes an exchange between parties that
are unconnected (acting at arm’s length) and are operating freely in the marketplace
and represents the figure that would appear in a hypothetical contract of sale, or
equivalent legal document, on the valuation date, reflecting all those factors that
would be taken into account in framing their bids by market participants at large and
reflecting the highest and best use of the asset. The highest and best use of an asset
is the use of an asset that maximizes its productivity and that is possible, legally
permissible and financially feasible.

SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
Market value is the estimated exchange price of an asset without regard to the
seller’s costs of sale or the buyer’s costs of purchase and without adjustment for any
taxes payable by either party as a direct result of the transaction.
2.5.2 VALUER(S)
The Valuer on behalf of ValuStrat, with responsibility of this report is Mr. Ramez Al
Medlaj (Taqeem Member) who has sufficient and current knowledge of the Saudi
market and the skills and understanding to undertake the valuation competently.
We further confirm that either the Valuer or ValuStrat have no previous material
connection or involvement with the subject of the valuation assignment apart from
this same assignment undertaken.
Our site inspection was limited to the visual assessment of the exterior & interior
features of the subject properties including their facilities & amenities and the
properties’ surrounding developments. For the purpose of our report, we have
expressly assumed that the condition of any un-seen areas is commensurate with
those which were seen. We reserve the right to amend our report should this prove
not to be the case.

SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
The subject properties are valued under the assumption of property held on a Private
interest with the benefit of trading potential of existing operational entity in
possession;
This subject is a valuation report and not a structural/building survey, and hence a
building and structural survey is outside the scope of the subject assignment. We
have not carried out any structural survey, nor have we tested any services, checked
fittings or any parts of the structures which are covered, exposed or inaccessible,
and, therefore, such parts are assumed to be in good repair and condition and the
services are assumed to be in full working order; we have not arranged for any
investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not any deleterious or
hazardous material have been used in the construction of the property, or have since
been incorporated, and we are therefore unable to report that the property is free
from risk in this respect. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that
such investigations would not disclose the presence of any such material to any
significant extent; that, unless we have been informed otherwise, the properties
comply with all relevant statutory requirements (including, but not limited to, those of
Fire Regulations, By-Laws, Health and Safety at work;
We have made no investigation, and are unable to give any assurances, on the
combustibility risk of any cladding material that may have been used in construction
of the subject building. We would recommend that the client makes their own
enquiries in this regard; and the market value conclusion arrived at for the properties
reflect the full contract value and no account is taken of any liability to taxation on
sale or of the costs involved in effecting the sale.
No responsibility is accepted to any third party who may use or rely upon the whole
or any part of the contents of this report. It should be noted that any subsequent
amendments or changes in any form thereto will only be notified to the Client to
whom it is authorised.

For Khalidiyah Business Centre, the client has informed us that a proposed Parking
Building and Roof Top Restaurant construction will be undertaken started in March
2019 with a target construction duration of 14 months at an estimated CAPEX of
SAR 12.8 million. This will generate an additional gross leasable area of 1,895
square meters beginning March 2021. Assuming an average rental rate of SAR
1,400/sqm, it produces additional rental income of SAR 2,653,000 per annum;
hence, Gross Rent in Year 2021 will be SAR 16,498,344 per annum.
The Ajdan Walk lease agreement is between Ajdan Walk Development Real estate
and First Development Real Estate Holding Company commencement from
1/1/2019 for a term of 10 years with an initial income of SAR 25 million per annum
and thereafter in year 6 at an income of SAR 26,250,000 per annum. Due to
confidentiality and size of documents, we are unable to attach agreements with this
report. For further details refer to the Fund Manager.
Burj Al Hayat Hotel - we understand from the client they are in the process of
considering a new operator and have received an offer in consideration of a rental
income of SAR 1.5 million per annum. It is below market conditions as the new
operator will carry out CAPEX works on the subject property (Burj Al Hayat Hotel).
Further details to be confirmed by the client.
We have assumed that all lessees are in a position to renew on their forthcoming
renewal process.
For the purposes of this valuation, we have explicitly assumed that the lease contract
agreements, tenancy schedules and all other information provided by the client are
complete, accurate and updated. Should this not be the case, we reserve the right
to amend our valuation and this report.
The subject property(s) fall into a broad category of investment property with the
prime value determinant being the properties’ ability to generate rentals and rental
growth through the ongoing letting and reasonable maintenance.
In determining our opinion of Market Value of the subject property we have utilized
the Investment Approach utilizing a Discounted Cash Flow technique.
29 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA
Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
To this projected cash flow series, an appropriate discount rate is applied to establish
an indication of the present value of the income stream associated with the property.
The DCF approach involves the discounting of the projected net cash flow on a
yearly basis over the explicit cash flow period. In the case of the subject compounds
the cash flow has been projected over a 10-year period reflecting a market practice
for cash flows reflecting the two lease terms referred above for both properties.
The cash flow is discounted back to the date of valuation at an appropriate rate to
reflect risk in order to determine the Market Value of both properties. The rental
income being capitalised and discounted in the cash flow refers to net rental income,
that is, the income stream. A contractual agreed growth rate as referred in the lease
contract based on rental income per annum has been agreed and has been reflected
within the DCF calculations.
The future values quoted for property, rents and costs are projections only formed
on the basis of information currently available to us and are not representations of
what the value of the property will be as at a future date.
Since the last exercise in December 2020 prices have remained largely unchanged,
although adjustments have been made based on information provided by the client
based on the tenancy schedules and in line with lease terms reflecting market
conditions. We expect the subject mixed portfolio referred in this report to remain
stable in the foreseeable future subject to ongoing maintenance, upkeep of the
property and to provide yield stability with the real estate sector generally follows the
fortunes of the greater economy. Although should the pandemic – health crisis cases
persist, we expect an adjustment in rent and capital values in December 2021.
Valuation figures considered full figure and may not be easily achievable in the event
of an early re-sale. It also must be borne in mind that capital values can fall as well
as rise. The client is advised that whilst all reasonable measures have been taken
to supply an accurate valuation as possible as at the Valuation date, this figure
should be considered in the context of the volatility of today’s marketplace. Sales or
rental evidence for similar properties within KSA are not readily available or
transparent due to the nature of the property market within the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. Much if not all of the evidence is anecdotal, and this limitation may place on
the non-reliability of such information and impact on values reported.

The subject property has been assessed as an investment property subject to the
lease amount provided by the client and any assumptions made by ValuStrat within
market benchmarks.
ValuStrat has made certain assumptions and adjustments based on their experience
in valuing typical commercial and residential properties in Riyadh, Jeddah &
Dammam, KSA taking cognisance of the surrounding developments within the
property which will ultimately form part of.
The growth rates for the subject properties are as per lease contract agreements
provided by the client which are summarized as follows:
33 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA
Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
Exit Yield
The exit yield is a resultant extracted from transactional evidence in the market;
however, due to anecdotal evidence and limited market activity we have had to rely
on anticipated investor expectations from typical property investments.
These typically vary between 7% and 9%, with exceptions on either side, depending
on the quality of the property, length of the leases and the location.
Based on the above criteria we are of the opinion that a fair exit yield for the subject
properties is shown on the succeeding page and table.
Discount Rate
The discount rate reflects the opportunity cost of capital. It reflects the return
required to mitigate the risk associated with the particular investment type in
question.
To this we have to add elements of market risk and property specific risk. The market
risk comes in the form of; inter alia, potential competition from existing and latent
supply.
Market risk will also reflect where we are in the property cycle. For the purpose of
our valuation calculations, we have adopted the following exit yields & discount rates.
Despite the continuance of subdued conditions, the KSA real estate investment
market remains resilient in times of global uncertainty, protectionism, technology
innovation disruption and regional volatility.
34 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA
Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
The divergence between prime yields and secondary continues to widen, reflecting
the fact that investors are willing to pay a premium for assets seen as lower risk, in
core locations along with strong covenants/tenants/branding.
Whilst there remains a lack of transactional evidence in the KSA market and the
lack of good quality income generating assets across the KSA market; however,
strong investor appetite remains for ‘Best in Class’ / ‘Institutional Asset Class –
Grade A’ / good quality property providing long term income.
The historic strength of asset classes and significant growth in the past few years
has meant fairly attractive yields and with the continuance of current stable demand
but slower growth. Investors are also no less sensitive to asset classes i.e., office,
retail, residential, industrial and the location of property providing investor
expectations and stable long-term income for portfolios and funds.
The foreseeable future the subject property(s) referred in this report appear to
provide stable investment subject to ongoing maintenance, upkeep of the property
and provided that yield stability remains with the real estate sector generally
following the fortunes of the greater economy and while the oil reserves are currently
fairly strong, then the economy remains stable and backed-by strong fundamentals
of the KSA market (i.e. young growing population) and also the economic
transformation plan transforming the Kingdom towards a service economy post-oil
era.
The resultant values based upon the above variables/assumptions for the subject
properties are as follows:
Property # Property Name Location Value - Rounded (SAR)
1 Khalidiyah Business Centre Jeddah 144,000,000
2 Rawdah Business Centre Jeddah 107,000,000
3 Panda Al Hamadaniah Jeddah 38,000,000

may not be easily achievable in the event of an early re-sale in the short
term due to volatile and uncertain times. Refer to our market conditions
section below.
11. Property values are subject to fluctuation over time as market conditions
may change.
12. We have assumed that the land is not subject to any unusual or especially
onerous restrictions, encumbrances or outgoings and good title can be
shown. For the avoidance of doubt, these items should be ascertained by
the client’s legal representatives.
2.13 VALUATION
We are currently experiencing a very uncertain property market and due to the reduced level of
transactions, there is an acute shortage of comparable evidence upon which to base valuations. Due to
this shortage, it may be necessary at times for a Valuer to draw upon evidence which is of a historical
nature.’
37 of 58
Valuation Report – (11) SEDCO Capital REIT Property, KSA

SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
The valuation assumes that the freehold title should confirm arrangements for future management of the
building and maintenance provisions are adequate, and no onerous obligations affecting the valuation.
This should be confirmed by your legal advisers.
The value provided in this report is at the top end of the range for properties of this location and character
and will necessitate that the property be maintained to a good standard to maintain its value.
The outbreak of the pandemic COVID-19 a year on remains a material factor in daily
life and uncertain economic trends globally and in the middle east, though KSA has
remained fairly resilient with PIF – sovereign wealth fund going from strength to
strength. Through the unprecedented trial over the Coronavirus COVID-19 and the
global spread of the virus, it has meant a significant impact on global financial
markets as geographies experience continued spread and increase of pandemic
cases. This has meant a global shutdown/lockdown of economies with most sectors
affected.
The outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health
Organization (WHO) as a “Global Pandemic” back on 11 March 2020, has impacted
global financial markets. Travel restrictions have been implemented by many
countries across the globe and continues to be restricted travel throughout 2021.
Market activity is being impacted in many sectors. Prior to the global rapid spread of
the virus and the announcement by the KSA authorities of an initial indefinite
lockdown, the KSA real estate market was in a healthy position with many analysts
predicting a strong 2020 for real estate (vision 2020) with the positive activity and
investment by the government unveiling a number of reforms, including recent
facilitation of the tourism visa, where citizens of 49 countries are now able to apply
e-visas and holders of Schengen, UK or US visas are eligible for visas on arrival.
Also, the government has now allowed the full foreign ownership of retail and
wholesale operations along with previously opening up of the Tadawul Stock Market
to foreign investment supported by current energy reforms, cutting subsidies,
creating jobs, privatising state-controlled assets and increasing private sector
contribution to the country’s economy, etc. With all the opportunities throughout the
Kingdom and the creation of the Giga projects, there was an ambitious resilience
which was suddenly shutdown overnight due to the initial lockdown period. With all
the current uncertainty, market stagnation and short-term challenges whereby force
majeure (as a result of the pandemic’s cause beyond anyone’s reasonable control)
had created inactivity. As mentioned above the KSA market’s ambitions and
resilience, we understand investor sentiment remains strong as it was prior to the
pandemic and the KSA was on an upward course showing growth in the last quarter
of 2019 after a period of subdued market conditions.

SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
The current global crushing of liquidity in economies will have impact on markets and
real estate market and this maybe the case with many economies across the globe;
however, the KSA market has shown resilience in previous years through a period
of downward trend (2016-18), a correction allowing for the market to bottom out with
2019 experiencing growth in the first quarter and subdued market conditions
throughout 2019. The latter part of Q4 – 2019 saw positive growth with strong
investor appetite, though the market lacking good quality stock. Now with the Saudi
government confirming a stimulus package of SAR 120 billion plus, we understand
the market will bounce back with investors underlying strong appetite. This will delay
any evidence in the short term of declining prices and with the government stimulus
will assist any short-term losses on transactions, private and public funds, although
will need to be sustained in the short-term.
The KSA real estate sector generally follows the fortunes of the greater economy
and while the oil reserves were left off prior to the pandemic fairly strong, although
currently a price war between major producers is adding to a growing supply glut,
though this will help KSA once markets start normalizing again. The KSA economy
remains stable and backed-by strong fundamentals of the KSA market (i.e. young
growing population) and also the economic transformation plan transforming the
Kingdom towards a service economy post-oil era.
Equally, the short-term generally speaking we do not expect the current real estate
market to show any small adjustment in prices/rates. The KSA real estate market is
a developing market with much invested by the government in infrastructure projects,
so we expect the government’s latest stimulus to preserve liquidity and for demand
to hold having limited / no bearing on prices / rates. However, should the pandemic
persist throughout 2021, we do expect adjustment later on in the year.

review.
2.14.2 MARKET CONDITIONS PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC & THE KSA LOCKDOWN
Despite a new wave of infections (Variant Viruses) this year (2021), the roll out of
vaccinations offers hope in controlling this disease and provide a path of recovery in
sight along with recovery in oil rice provides further impetus.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) - world's largest exporter of crude oil, embarked
four years (2016) ago on an ambitious economic transformation plan, “Saudi Arabia
Vision 2030”. In a hope to reduce its reliance on revenue from hydrocarbons, given
the plummeting oil price revenues from 2014.
Through the current vision 2030 and in a post oil economy, KSA is adapting to times
of both austerity measures and a grand ambitious strategy. With an overdue
diversification plan Saudi Arabia’s economic remodelling is about fiscal sustainability
to become a non-dependent nation of oil. This is supported by current energy
reforms, cutting subsidies, creating jobs, privatising state-controlled assets and
increasing private sector contribution to the country’s economy.
Despite economic headwinds, across the region, KSA has shown resilience through
a period of subdued real estate market activity. The real estate sector generally
follows the fortunes of the greater economy and whilst Saudi Arabia is undergoing
structural reforms politically, economically and socially will transform the Kingdom
towards a service economy post-oil era.
The KSA economy in the first quarter of 2019 has relied on the current oil price rise
to pull it out of recession; however, the previous 18-24 months, KSA faced a
protracted spell of economic stress, much of which can be attributed to the falling oil
prices coupled with regional political issues.
Oil prices starting to surge again around 65 dollars a barrel currently from under 30
dollars a barrel in early in 2016 which resulted in a crash in prices and the economy
dipped into negative territory in 2017 for the first time since 2009, a year after the
global financial crisis.

Private & Confidential
SEDCO Capital, Jeddah, KSA – July 2021
growth in 2019, albeit at the fairly modest level of 1.7%, according to estimates from
the International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, the return to growth is mainly due
to a return to increase in oil prices again and output which, in turn, is enabling an
increase in government spending.
Accordingly, in the short term needs to rely on the oil revenue and this reliance is
being channelled into public spending. The reforms that have been pushed through
to date have led to important changes aiding the economy.
The opening up of the entertainment industry will create jobs for young locals and
women driving makes it easier for millions more people to enter the workforce.
Reforms to the financial markets have led indexing firms to bring the Saudi Stock
Market (Tadawul) into the mainstream of the emerging markets universe which now
assists to draw in many billions of investment dollars.
The economic transformation that the KSA has embarked upon is complex and
multidimensional and will certainly take time to turn around a non-oil serviced
economy, although there have been recent positive signs, but it will remain in the
short term with the support of oil revenues.
On the other hand, the KSA was resilient in the previous recession in 2007/2008 on
strong oil reserves and not only can the Saudi government be relied upon to step in
to rescue troubled lenders, reliable institutions for procedural reasons but crucially,
it can also afford to do so, although has suffered due to previous oil price declines
and it has meant increased spending.
Vision 2030 to diversify the economy from reliance on oil, has only just commenced
in previous years and with a young and increasingly well-educated population,
together with its own sovereign wealth fund, the Kingdom has many favourable
factors to become a leading service sector economy in the region. Reform efforts
include a reduction of subsidies on fuel and electricity and the implementation of a 5
per cent VAT back on 01 January 2018 which increased to 15 per cent VAT as of 01
July 2020.
The government is also striving to get women to play a greater role in the economy
including recently allowing them to drive back in 2019. Wider reforms have been
initiated by the government allowing for the entertainment industry to flourish with
the opening of the first cinema in King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) along with
4 VOX screens opening at Riyadh Park Mall.

As part of wider reforms to overhaul the economy and to allow for deep rooted
diversification, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) have initiated plans to bolster the
tourism / entertainment industry by forming ambitious plans such as the following:
To transform 50 islands consisting of 28,000 square kilometres along the Red Sea
coastline into a global tourism destination. For ease of reference to illustration below
showing the location in relation to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Al Faisaliyah Project
The project will consist of 2,450 square kilometres of residential units, entertainment
facilities, an airport and a seaport. Refer to the below illustration for the location.
Qiddiya Entertainment City will be a key project within the Kingdom’s entertainment
sector located 40 kilometres away from the center of Riyadh. Currently alleged for
“The First Six Flags-branded theme park”.
The 334 square kilometre entertainment city will include a Safari Park too. The
project will be mixed use facility with parks, adventure, sports, events and wild-life
activities in addition to shopping malls, restaurants and hotels.
The project will also consist around 4,000 vacation houses to be built by 2025 and
up to 11,000 units by 2030. Again, for ease of reference refer to the below illustration
for the location.

Neom City
The NEOM city project will operate independently from the “existing governmental
framework” backed by Saudi government along with local and international
investors.
The project will be part of a ‘new generation of cities’ powered by clean energy. The
ambitious plan includes a bridge spanning the Red Sea, connecting the proposed
city to Egypt and stretch into Jordan too.
Economic Cities
The overall progress with the Economic Cities has been slow and projects on hold
over the past 7-10 years, although KAFD has recently given the go ahead to
complete by 2020.
Within the Saudi Vision 2030 the governed referenced that they will work to “salvage”
and “revamp”.
Overall ValuStrat research reveals that real estate sectors have continued to decline
in both sales and rental values.
Despite short term challenges, both investors and buyers remaining cautious, the
Saudi economy has shown signs of ambition with the government unveiling a
number of reforms, including full foreign ownership of retail and wholesale operations
along with opening up of the Tadawul Stock Market to foreign investment as well as
the reforms mentioned in the previous section referred above.
As mentioned earlier, KSA experienced positive growth by oil price rise in the first
quarter of 2021; hence the main driver of the recovery remains oil. Over 2021 we
envisage the Kingdom’s consumer outlook to be more favourable in economic
conditions.
In latter part of 2017, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), Saudi Arabia’s sovereign
wealth fund set up a real estate refinancing company aimed at advancing home
ownership in the Kingdom, which suffers from a shortage of affordable housing.
This initiative will create stability and growth in the Kingdom’s housing sector by
injecting liquidity and capital into the market. Another plan to help kick start the real

estate market by boosting the contribution of real estate finance to the non-oil GDP
part.
The real estate sector has played an increasingly important role in the Saudi Arabian
economy. Growing demand across all sectors combined with a generally limited
supply has forced real estate prices to accelerate over the past (2008-2016). The
close ties with the construction, financing institutions and many others have provided
crucial resources that contributed to the development of the Saudi economy.
The real estate market performance in 2019/20 and the general trend in KSA for
most sectors have remained subdued given lower activity levels, while prices have
been under pressure across most asset classes leading to a gradual softening of
rental and sale prices.
The real estate sector remains subdued, and prices may have bottomed out across
sectors, and we expect in the medium to long term for the market to pick-up further
growth given the reforms and transformation in KSA, although we expect the growth
to be slow and steady subject to a stable political environment in KSA and across
the region.
The outlook remains optimistic for the longer term due to the various KSA initiatives
aimed at stimulating the real estate market whilst encouraging the private sector to
play a key role in the transformation. All in all, market volatility remains currently, and
prices are likely to witness further deterioration in the short term. Since the issuing
of this report the KSA lockdown for the COVID-19 health crisis was lifted back on 21
June 2020 and the economy is now trying to get back to normalcy.
A watching brief should be kept on the economy, although we expect the economy
to gather some pace later in 2021-22.
Property values are subject to fluctuation over time as market conditions may
change. Valuation considered full figure and may not be easily achievable in the
event of an early re-sale. It must be borne in mind that both rental and capital values
can fall as well as rise.
Given the current uncertainties it may be necessary at times for a Valuer to draw
upon evidence which is of a historical nature. The current shortage of transaction,
combined with a rapidly changing market only serves to highlight the unpredictability

of the current market, which is subject to change on a day by day basis. The RICS
