Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA), the kingdom’s central bank, inked a contract with the public pension agency (PPA) to lease new headquarters and land at King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) to establish a new data center.

 

The Saudi payment network system will also be moved to the new location.

 

SAMA’s governor Fahad Al Mubarak and PPA’s governor Mohammad Al-Kharashi both inked the contract on Sunday.

 

KAFD, one of the biggest projects in Riyadh, is a 1.6 million-square-meter mixed-use development area fully owned by the PPA.

 

KAFD will serve as a financial hub for the country’s major financial institutions including the Capital Market Authority (CMA) and Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul), according to data available on Argaam.
