NEWSWEEK´S US- SAUDI ARABIA BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE

Tuesday, August 22, 2023

To Whom it May Concern,

ThinkLink and its partner Newsweek are working to create a national conversation in the
United States around business and investment opportunities in the Gulf Region featuring
thought leaders, movers and shakers from the United States and the region.

The US- Saudi Arabia Roundtable will be held under the theme “Collaborating For Prosperity”
with the aim of supporting and promoting cooperation in the areas of economy, trade,
and investment to achieve solutions of common interest for both Arab nations and America
through strategic collaboration. The event will bring together Saudi policymakers, financial
regulators, bankers, state funds, businesses, and providers of private capital from the region
and internationally to share ideas on how to build sustainable growth .

As a follow up, Newsweek will publish a special feature aiming at showcasing valuable insights
drawn from keynotes,discussions,presentations,interviews,and expert opinions expressed
throughout the event

This initiative aims to present to China and the international investment community the
opportunities that exist today in Saudi Arabia. Global interest in Saudi Arabia continues to
rise, driven by the strong performance of Saudi Arabia ’s banks in recent years, significant
government investment in infrastructure and energy projects, and generally high asset quality.
Saudi Arabia´s ongoing diversification strategies, supported by the banking sector’s enhanced
focus on SMEs and retail lending, have also generated strong interest from international
financial groups. In the context of global instability and uncertainty and to continue its upward
march, Saudi Arabia must unlock new drivers of economic growth.

We shall contact your office and arrange a meeting to brief you on our efforts and gather your
thoughts and comments on the matters that are most relevant to your country at this particular
time.

I thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer in contributing to the success of this
initiative.

Sincerely Yours
