00:00 We will announce next week the number of investments that Invescorp Capital will benefit from
00:08 and we see that the global investments that Invescorp is making have a strong growth rate
00:17 especially in the debt sector and infrastructure sector
00:23 These are two sectors that Invescorp is famous for investing in and this is important
00:28 In addition to Invescorp Capital, Invescorp Capital is also adopting the preparation of investments for our investors in the Gulf
00:40 and we see a strong and big reception from investors in the Gulf in the alternative investment sector that Invescorp is active in
00:50 You mentioned that next week new acquisitions and companies will be announced
00:54 There are some reports that indicate that you have a deal or two major deals that will be announced in the infrastructure sector
01:02 specifically next week. Are these reports true?
01:05 God willing, next week we will see the announcements
01:09 but I would like to say that Invescorp announced a period of increasing its investments in infrastructure in the Gulf and internationally
01:20 This is one of the sectors that will be one of the biggest foundations for Invescorp's investments in the coming years
01:29 You mentioned that you are focusing now on the Gulf. In the work of Invescorp in the alternative investment, private equity, real estate, infrastructure in the Gulf
01:40 Where is your focus? Where do you see the investment opportunities in the region?
01:44 In the Gulf, we focus on three areas. First, on private equity investments. We announced in the past nine months two important investments
01:56 One is in the trucker, which is electronic trucking, and the second is in Noornet, which is one of the largest internet providers in the Kingdom
02:06 In addition, in the past weeks, we announced the gradualization of four Invescorp companies in the financial markets in the exchange
02:14 God willing, in the future, the capital markets in the Gulf will be open
02:19 And thank God, we are one of the largest investors in the private equity sector, and this journey will be completed
02:25 In addition, the second focus is real estate. We announced the intention to invest a value of one billion dollars in the real estate sector in the Gulf
02:35 We started this in the first investment, which is in the air-conditioned warehouse, worth 40 million dollars in Dammam, in the Kingdom
02:45 This will be one of the first investments in the logistics and warehousing sector in the Gulf
02:50 Thirdly, of course, in the infrastructure sector. The Gulf is enjoying a transformation in economy and in security
03:00 This involves many investments in the infrastructure sector, and God willing, next week we can announce one of the first of these investments that many are proud of
03:11 In addition, it came at the time of the COP28, so it has a personal feature of this program
03:16 How much is your investment in Saudi Arabia today, overall, in different sectors?
03:21 In the Gulf, about 1.2 billion dollars
03:25 In the Gulf? How much is it? A strong percentage, approximately?
03:29 In the Gulf, about 60%
03:31 As you know, the Kingdom is one of the largest economic sectors in the Gulf, so the majority of the investment is always in the Kingdom
03:40 When you announced the distribution plan, you put a payout floor of about 8% of the profits for the company
03:48 On condition that you have operating cash flow at a certain size and with other criteria that the board of directors takes into account
03:57 What is the floor or the ground for the operating cash flow that you want to maintain in terms of not touching it when you distribute cash?
04:09 There is no floor or minimum, but I would like to say two things
04:18 First, in general, in the past 20 years, Invesco Capital was easily able to pay more than 11% of the dividends
04:33 Therefore, we feel that the cash flow is very strong
04:36 Second, the majority of Invesco Capital's investors are real estate and debtors who enjoy a quarterly cash flow
04:48 So, the dividends are continuously distributed
04:55 So, I think the 8% will be easy
05:02 Can we add the rest next year?
05:04 Yes, this is the most important thing, the increase, the improvement above 8%
05:08 This is what the team and I are focusing on
