Saudi Arabia Digital Lending Market to be Dominated by Personal Loan Segment During the Forecast Period
Surging demand for digital
transactions, increasing demand from private sectors and easy availability of digital
lending providers are expected to drive the growth of Saudi Arabia Digital
Lending market.
According to TechSci Research
report, “Saudi Arabia Digital Lending
Market - Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities,
2018-2028F” The Saudi Arabia Digital Lending
market is expected to grow during the forecast period owing to factors such as
growing convenience of fintech companies, rising ease of availing loan, and growing
demand from personal loan segment is driving the market growth.
In 2022, Saudi Arabia's
consumer lending has grown in both gross
lending and outstanding balances, as the country appears to have largely
recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic's effects. Consumer lending significantly
increased in 2021 and maintained a positive trend, despite price increases and
local and global inflation, well into 2022 due to consumer behavior and
spending being directly impacted by the pandemic and the increase in VAT to
15%.
Furthermore, the FinTech
Strategy Implementation Plan was introduced by the Financial Sector Development
Program (FSDP) with the goal of positioning Saudi Arabia among the top nations
in the FinTech industry and making Riyadh a hub for global FinTech. By 2025,
the strategy wants there to be 230 FinTech businesses operating in the country,
up from 82 today. Additionally, by 2025, it aims to reach a share of non-cash
transactions (digital transactions) by 70%.
Following the publication of
the PSP (Payment Service Regulations) regulations in January 2020, SAMA (Saudi
Arabian Monetary Authority) will be tasked with licensing, controlling, and
regulating the payments industry in the country. The purpose of this mandate is
to establish an effective regulatory framework capable of fostering innovation
in the financial technology and payments industries. It has borrowed many ideas
from European PSP regulations, making it simpler for businesses to launch their
services in the Kingdom if they have already received approval to operate in
Europe. The effort was largely made to entice current foreign PSPs to operate
in the country.
