Saudi Arabia pushes for sustainability

Saudi Arabia called on Tuesday for a shift from investing for short-term gains to sustainable growth during the 8th Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh.

Yasir Al-Rumayyan, chairman of the FII Institute and governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, called for a shift toward investments based on "sustainable growth that benefits both our economies and societies".

"We have the responsibilities and the opportunities to share a future that invests not only in our economies but in humanity itself," Al-Rumayyan said.
