style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> The Kingdom is weighing another expansion of its Premium Residency Program, aimed <\/strong><strong>this time at individuals with a net worth of at least USD 30 mn<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-01-26\/saudis-weigh-expanding-premium-residency-net-to-lure-ultra-rich\" style=\"\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported, citing people it says are in the know. The move \u2014 which could be announced in April \u2014 would also open new pathways for luxury yacht owners and high-achieving students, widening the program\u2019s appeal beyond its traditional talent base. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The details<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Under the proposed changes<\/strong>, high-net-worth individuals, large yacht owners, high-achieving students, and entrepreneurs would be eligible to apply for premium residency, possibly needing a recommendation from the Investment Ministry. Application fees for the new categories are expected to be around USD 1k, broadly in line with most existing tracks, although fees can climb to nearly USD 200k for those seeking permanent residency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rationale:<\/strong> The proposed expansion would build on a broader push to position the Kingdom as a more compelling destination for foreign capital, investors, and skilled professionals.

Under the new standards, setting up new warehouses \u2014 as well as operating existing ones \u2014 will be required to meet risk-based safety and architectural requirements, raising the quality bar for the Saudi warehousing industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s in the law?<\/strong> Storage facilities are categorized by the risk level of their contents, with some labeled as medium risk (S1) and others as low risk (S2). Each classification has its own technical requirements, stipulating minimum square footage, ceiling height, and mandatory empty space between the warehousing facility and other property in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does this mean for operators? <\/strong>The new standards \u2014 announced in late July 2025 \u2014 charge local municipalities to levy fees on non-compliant operators, who can face up to SAR 1 mn in fines as per the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/laws.boe.gov.sa\/BoeLaws\/Laws\/LawDetails\/921c3d40-85cd-4f5e-aa97-aca900b92c72\/1\" style=\"\">Municipal Violations Penalties law<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">This can help spur demand for Grade A warehouses<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why does it matter? It could help spur supply in a market that is seeing<\/strong><strong> unprecedented demand for high-quality warehousing<\/strong>, according to a Knight Frank <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/12\/898.pdf\" style=\"\">report (pdf)<\/a>. This is especially evident in Riyadh, where severe shortage and high demand for space have pushed rental rates to historic highs in 1H 2025 \u2014 up 16% y-o-y to an average of SAR 208 per sqm. With occupancy hitting 98%, the shortage of premium space was further demonstrated by prime assets commanding rates in excess of SAR 250 per sqm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Saudi warehousing market is not \u201ccost-sensitive,\u201d<\/strong> unlike its counterparts in the region, and many \u201cbusinesses are actually pausing their entry into Saudi because they refuse to settle for subpar Grade B assets,\u201d Knight Frank\u2019s Adam Wynne tells EnterpriseAM. By requiring new builds to meet higher standards and pushing existing operators to upgrade, the new standards could help Saudi meet the robust demand for high-quality, or what the industry calls Grade A, warehouses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Other laws could also help address the supply gap<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Enter the White Land Tax: <\/strong>In what could be an attempt to alleviate this demand pressure, the Saudi government rolled out the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kpmg.com\/sa\/en\/insights\/tax-insights\/tax-flash-publication-of-implementing-regulations-for-white-land-tax.html\" style=\"\">White Land Tax<\/a> late last year, replacing the old 2.5% flat levy on idle lands in urban areas with a five-tier system that targets high-priority urban zones with annual fees <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2025\/08\/24\/final-regs-for-white-land-tax-law-are-out\/\" style=\"\">as high as 10%<\/a> of total land value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What does this mean? <\/strong>For landholding families, holding idle land loses its traditional value for preserving wealth and becomes more of a financial liability, Wynne tells us. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a lot of activity from local land-owning families who are looking to activate [their assets],\u201d with many now carrying out due diligence and feasibility studies on how to best use the land, including by setting up high-quality storage, he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Specialization might be the name of the game: <\/strong>Local players face several options when developing storage facilities, with the most direct option being ambient, general warehousing. Given an asset\u2019s specific qualities \u2014 like location \u2014 it may be more lucrative to establish specialized storage, Wynne said. In the long-term view, a specialized storage facility can differentiate itself in the years to come as more and more warehousing spaces become available. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But it may not be so simple: <\/strong>The Saudi Food and Drug Authority rolled out new specifications for cold storage facilities last year, which similarly raise the bar for operators, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/1\/548.pdf\" style=\"\">announcement (pdf)<\/a>.

style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong> Tokyo\u2019s bond market crash may be the end of easy money in Japan.<\/strong> The Japanese government bond (JGB) market, long a pillar of global stability, has entered a new era of unprecedented volatility, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2026-01-25\/japan-bond-market-crash-raises-alarm-for-global-interest-rates?srnd=phx-economics-v2\" style=\"\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What happened? <\/strong>Last week, yields jumped 25 basis points in a single session \u2014 a rate that previously took months \u2014 signaling the end of Japan\u2019s decades-long era of ultra-low rates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why the market snapped<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The selloff was triggered by a relatively small amount of trading. <\/strong>Just USD 280 mn in turnover in ultra-long-dated JGBs sparked a USD 41 bn wipeout across the yield curve. Ultra-long maturities were hit the hardest, with about USD 170 mn traded in 30-year bonds and USD 110 mn in 40-year notes, yet yields jumped more than 25 basis points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This volatility exposed a hollowed-out market: <\/strong>Years of Bank of Japan (BOJ) intervention have thinned liquidity. With the BOJ and domestic life insurers stepping back, prices are increasingly set by marginal trades rather than deep market demand. \u201cThis is not a paradox: it is exactly what you expect in a market where depth is thin, dealer balance sheets are constrained, and prices are set by the marginal trade rather than by volume-weighted averages,\u201d said Shoki Omori, chief desk strategist at Mizuho Securities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The pressure stems from a perfect storm of rising inflation and Prime Minister Sanae <\/strong><strong>Takaichi\u2019s expansionary fiscal plans<\/strong>, which have shown \u201cdisregard toward the yield movements\u201d ahead of the Feb. 8 snap election, according to Shinji Kunibe of Sumitomo Mitsui DS Asset Management. Investors fear higher spending will worsen Japan\u2019s already heavy debt burden of about 230% of GDP, creating a \u201cTruss moment\u201d with the currency down and long-end yields getting \u201ca little out of control,\u201d said Ugo Lancioni of Neuberger Berman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">The global ripple effect <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The shock rippled through global markets<\/strong>, already pressuring US Treasuries. Goldman Sachs estimates that every 10 basis points of a Japan-specific bond shock lifts US yields by two to three points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Rising yields threaten the USD 450 bn JPY-funded carry trade \u2014 a \u201cbastion\u201d of the global economy \u2014 where investors borrow in low-rate JPY to invest in higher-yielding assets, said Amova Asset Management\u2019s Naomi Fink. If the JPY slides further, Japan may sell its US Treasury reserves to defend the currency \u2014 exporting its \u201cJapan problem\u201d to Western markets. Albert Edwards of Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale told the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/c1fb7620-aea6-49a9-b3d4-dd5d06f7c8fa\" style=\"\">Financial Times<\/a> that Western politicians should \u201cquiver with fear\u201d as Japan turns off the liquidity tap that has suppressed global bond yields for years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Japan reax<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The Bank of Japan\u2019s response has so far been a game of \u201cwhack-a-mole<\/strong>.\u201d While the BOJ signaled it may buy bonds to stabilize markets \u2014 helping debt rebound \u2014 it triggered another sharp selloff in the JPY. Rates were held steady on Friday, though inflation forecasts were raised, suggesting the pressure won\u2019t ease soon. \u201cIt\u2019s a new era,\u201d said Masayuki Koguchi of Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management. \u201cThis is just the beginning \u2014 there\u2019s a chance that bigger shocks will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Looking ahead<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The long-term concern is the \u201crepatriation\u201d of Japanese ca<\/strong><strong>pital<\/strong>. Higher domestic yields are prompting Japanese institutions to reconsider their USD 5 tn in overseas investments, risking a move back to JGBs that could drain global liquidity. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group has already signaled a shift: \u201cI always loved foreign bond investment, but not anymore. Now it\u2019s JGBs,\u201d said Arihiro Nagata, the group\u2019s global markets head.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ignoring market signals could worsen dysfunction, investors warn<\/strong>. With overseas investors now accounting for 65% of monthly cashbond trading (up from 12% in 2009), the JGB market is in a \u201cfragile transition phase,\u201d and fast-moving foreign capital is amplifying volatility, James Athey of Marlborough Investment Management and Stefan Rittner of Allianz Global Investors said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Optimism appears to be the theme for markets this morning, as the anticipation for a wave of Big Tech earnings out later this week offsets the uncertainty triggered by President Trump announcing higher tariffs on South Korean goods and the imminent announcement of Powell\u2019s replacement. Asia-Pacific markets are mostly in the green, with the Kospi leading gains, reversing earlier losses, which came as an immediate reaction to Trump\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<div
