Integrating FinTech into Saudi Arabia's Financial Landscape: A Study of Vision 2030 Objectives and Regulatory Developments
Journal Title: Account and Financial Management Journal - Year 2025, Vol 10, Issue 04
Abstract
This study investigates the transformative role of financial technology (FinTech) in Saudi Arabia's financial sector, emphasizing its alignment with Vision 2030 objectives. Employing a document analysis methodology, the research systematically reviews the "Annual Fintech Report 2023" alongside pertinent literature and industry publications. Findings reveal that FinTech has significantly influenced Saudi Arabia's financial landscape, with over 226 active companies by 2023, surpassing initial targets. Initiatives like the Financial Sector Development Program (FSDP) and the establishment of regulatory sandboxes have fostered innovation while ensuring compliance. Stakeholders, including regulatory bodies and financial institutions, exhibit a collaborative approach, recognizing FinTech's potential to enhance financial inclusion and economic diversification. The study recommends continued support for FinTech initiatives through adaptive regulatory frameworks, investment in digital infrastructure, and targeted education programs to cultivate local talent. Emphasizing stakeholder collaboration and aligning FinTech strategies with national objectives will be pivotal in sustaining growth and positioning Saudi Arabia as a leading FinTech hub in the region.
