Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: PwC Middle East plans to expand its footprint across Saudi Arabia by opening new offices in major cities, following the launch of its regional headquarters in Riyadh last December.
Speaking to Al Eqtisadiah, Mostafa Gad, the firm’s Government and Public Sector Partner, said Saudi Arabia remains one of the firm’s most important strategic markets, citing its position as one of the region’s leading economies.
PwC currently operates offices in five Saudi cities, including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al Khobar, and has recently opened a new branch in AlUla.
Gad further noted that Saudi nationals now account for more than 54% of PwC’s workforce in the Kingdom, with plans to increase localization further in line with national objectives. PwC’s core activities in Saudi Arabia focus on advisory and audit services, supported by strategic partnerships with both public and private sector entities to advance the goals of Vision 2030, a direction the firm has followed since the strategy was first announced nearly a decade ago.
PwC has also resumed providing advisory services to the Public Investment Fund after the expiration of a temporary suspension.
Separately, Gad highlighted findings from PwC’s annual workforce study covering four countries, led by Saudi Arabia, which showed that 85% of young professionals in the Kingdom prioritize job security—above the global average of 79% —challenging perceptions about shifting workforce values.
