On Tuesday, the $905 billion Public Investment Fund announced two credit lines amounting to about $3 billion, with Sace set to provide the guarantee. The package includes a $1.8 billion slice and a €1 billion green facility arranged by a group of 25 international lenders, with the euro funds earmarked for projects that meet environmental criteria.
Last year, PIF and Sace entered into an MOU to boost collaboration among Saudi and Italian firms following Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's visit to Saudi Arabia. Meloni met Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman again in April, discussing domestic energy security during a trip to a region hit by war.
Sace earlier provided a guarantee on a $3 billion loan for Neom, the PIF-backed futuristic city where some components are now being reviewed as Saudi Arabia reprioritizes large projects. Earlier this year, the PIF-backed FII Institute brought its flagship investment roadshow to Rome to highlight opportunities in Saudi Arabia and across PIF's portfolio.

The country's transformation agenda requires hundreds of billions in funding, and export credit agencies have helped PIF and its subsidiaries broaden their financing channels to execute on Vision 2030.
The investor link to Europe is already substantial. Since 2017, PIF has deployed €98 billion across the region, with holdings in the luxury-yacht maker Azimut Benetti and in Italian supercar producer Pagani. The bottom line: a Sace-backed structure, a 25-bank syndicate, and a dedicated green euro tranche together signal how PIF is stitching together diverse funding sources, a useful datapoint for anyone tracking capital access and project risk in the Gulf.
