The program, supported by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, directly aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 goals: boosting the private sector’s contribution to GDP from 40% to 65%, while aiming to increase private participation in healthcare to 32% and student enrollment in private schools to 25% by 2030. SIFP introduces two innovative financing solutions, Co-Financing and Credit Guarantees, with tenures of up to 15 years, to be deployed in partnership with six leading local banks, including Saudi National Bank and Al Rajhi Bank.

Esmail Al-Sallom, CEO of Infra, emphasized that SIFP aims to elevate the quality of services and diversify offerings, also providing performance-linked incentives for beneficiaries who meet strategic target criteria.
