Saudi Arabia: Contracting with Foreign Companies Now Tied to Regional Headquarters
Saudi Arabia is holding on to its decision that foreign companies will be required to base their regional headquarters in the Kingdom, which enters into effect on January 1, 2024. The government issued more than 180 licenses to international companies to move their regional headquarters after it announced the decision to stop contracting with entities that do not adhere to the state's direction at the beginning of 2024. Last week, the Saudi cabinet approved contracting regulations for firms that do not have regional headquarters in the Kingdom.
