(MENAFN) An official at the Saudi Industrial Property Authority said that the Kingdom is planning to set up six more large industrial parks and hand out contracts worth up to $1.6 billion to equip them, Reuters reported.
The total area of parks would rise to 71 million square meters in a first step and later to more than 100 million square meters, up from 42 million, according to the official.
Saudi Arabia is rolling out investments worth $400 billion until 2013 to upgrade infrastructure, build roads, power plants, utilities or universities.
To attract investments, the government is creating so-called industrial cities across the Kingdom which offer cheap leases and other subsidized government services.
Contracts would be signed on a build-operate-transfer (BOT) basis under which an investor typically runs a project for the government over a limited period of time.
