Saudi Arabia plans to hold the next edition of its flagship FII investment conference in October 2027, state television said, Reuters reports.

The Future Investment Initiative, dubbed “Davos in the Desert”, had been scheduled for October 26 to 29 in Riyadh this year but was postponed after repeated Houthi strikes on the Saudi capital’s airport killed more than a dozen people.

The conference, which was set to mark its 10th edition this year, has become a fixture on the calendar for some of the world’s leading financiers and executives.

Organisers now plan to hold the event from October 25 to 28 next year, state television announced.
