Saleh Khabti, deputy of investment transactions at the Ministry of Investment, added: “Saudi Arabia offers investors such as Artisan access to the fast-growing Saudi market, the largest in the region, providing an excellent platform to access regional growth opportunities across the Middle East.

The Axe Drops on Gaming’s Acquisitions Gold Rush
