Referring to the establishment of the Real Estate Registration Company, Al-Hogail said that the regions that come under the jurisdiction of the company will be announced during the second quarter of this year.

“This will increase the transparency and reliability of the data containing in the deed, as well as document the rights and obligations between the parties, and reduce the duplication of deeds,” he said while revealing that drafting of the Real Estate Contributions Law is nearing completion and that is in cooperation with the Capital Market Authority.

The minister pointed out that more than 150 distinguished dignitaries, including emirs of regional princes, ministers, deputy ministers and other officials from experts, companies, real estate institutions and personalities from inside and outside the Kingdom are attending the forum.
