The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has officially announced the date of the strategic transaction with the Government of the United Arab Emirates, scheduled for November 13, 2025, involving the sale of a 15% equity stake in FinOracle Inc.
The transaction represents half of the 30% shareholding currently held by the Saudi Sovereign Investment Fund and is valued at USD 467 million, based on the most recent independent valuation of Selentium Group AG and its subsidiaries conducted earlier this month.
About the Transaction
Following the closing of Selentium Group AG’s Q3 2025 revaluation — which assessed the company’s consolidated valuation at USD 3.5–3.8 billion — both Saudi Arabia and the UAE have agreed to formalize dual sovereign participation in FinOracle Inc., the flagship financial analytics subsidiary of Selentium Group.
Under the agreement:
- The Saudi Sovereign Fund will retain a 15% stake, maintaining strategic oversight;
- The UAE Government, through its Sovereign Wealth Fund, will acquire a 15% equity share;
- Selentium Group AG will remain the majority shareholder and operator of FinOracle Inc.
The transaction will be signed in Riyadh on November 13, 2025, in the presence of representatives from both governments, the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA), and the Ministry of Economy of the UAE.
Strategic Context
This agreement marks a historic alignment between Saudi Arabia and the UAE in the field of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and financial technology — positioning FinOracle Inc. as a regional AI infrastructure asset jointly supported by two Gulf powers.
The deal also represents a cornerstone in the broader partnership between both nations, established under the Vision 2030 and UAE Centennial 2071 strategies — aimed at achieving technological sovereignty and regional leadership in data-driven economies.
