THIQAH Signs Two MoUs in Algiers to Strengthen Private Sector Investment
The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Group Business Forum, THIQAH, has signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) aimed at boosting private-sector investment during the Private Sector Forum held alongside the 2025 IsDB Group Annual Meetings in Algiers.
The first MoU, signed with the Algerian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CACI), aims to promote the exchange of information on trade and investment opportunities, encourage joint participation in economic events, and support the exchange of business delegations. This agreement is designed to stimulate economic growth and deepen private-sector collaboration between Algeria and other IsDB member countries.
The second MoU, signed with the Arab African Center for Investment and Development (CAAID), focuses on strengthening cooperation in investment and development. It outlines plans to co-organize regional and international conferences, facilitate business exchanges, and share expertise to enhance global economic engagement.
These partnerships reflect THIQAH's ongoing commitment to advancing national and regional cooperation, attracting private-sector investment, and supporting the IsDB Group's broader goals of inclusive and sustainable development.

IsDB Group partners with Turkiye to drive green industrial growth
JEDDAH: The Islamic Development Bank Group has partnered with Turkiye's Ministry of Industry and Technology to advance sustainable manufacturing and infrastructure as part of a broader push to modernize the country's industrial zones and accelerate its green transition. The initiative supports Turkiye's 2053 net-zero emissions target and aligns with the 12th National Development Plan (2024–28) and the 2030 Industry and Technology Strategy. According to the Saudi Press Agency, the project aims to cluster industrial enterprises within designated zones, reducing environmental impact and promoting climate-conscious development. While Turkiye has committed to peak emissions by 2038 and reach net zero by 2053, independent assessments question the feasibility of this goal. Climate Action Tracker has rated the strategy as 'poor,' citing a lack of ambition and transparency, and warning that the 15-year window to net zero is overly compressed. Still, some subsectors—such as cement, iron and steel, aluminum, and fertilizers—have set clearer reduction targets, although they remain exceptions, CAT notes. Walid Abdelwahab, director of the IsDB Group's regional hub in Turkiye, described the project as 'a vital step in fulfilling the IsDB's commitment to supporting sustainable industrial transformation, enhancing economic resilience, and promoting climate-conscious development.' A multidisciplinary team from IsDB's Jeddah headquarters and Ankara office has been working closely with various government bodies and industrial zone authorities. Discussions have focused on collecting data, identifying challenges, and shaping the project in line with national investment and climate resilience goals. According to SPA, the initiative will also address key areas such as wastewater management, improved water use efficiency, and green infrastructure, laying the groundwork for long-term sustainable industrial growth.

Saudi-Funded Fisheries Project Set to Boost Maldives' Global Market Reach
The Maldives is preparing to launch a major fisheries development project focused on cold storage and export infrastructure with funding from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD), according to the country's Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Ahmed Shiyam. Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat during the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) meetings in Algiers, Shiyam said the project will enhance the competitiveness of Maldivian seafood in global markets by enabling better storage and higher-quality exports. 'We're working with Saudi funds on a cold storage project that will give our companies a global edge and help secure better prices,' Shiyam said. 'We're ready to begin implementation very soon.' The initiative is part of broader collaboration with the IsDB and the Lives and Livelihoods Fund (LLF), which is already supporting a large-scale fisheries project aimed at improving community livelihoods. Shiyam noted that the project is halfway through and progressing well. A key feature is a seawater cooling system that reduces environmental impact and boosts operational efficiency. 'Fishermen are eager to install this system, which lowers costs, saves time, and increases profits,' he said. Shiyam stressed the Maldives' strong partnership with Saudi Arabia, calling it the country's most significant bilateral relationship. 'We're working closely with Saudi institutions, particularly the Saudi Fund for Development, on projects that directly improve our fisheries sector and the lives of our people,' he said. The minister acknowledged challenges such as limited storage and ice production, which currently force the Maldives to export raw fish without pricing leverage. 'Once these projects are complete, we'll be able to store fish until market conditions are favorable, giving us more control and better returns,' he added.
