Following an extraordinary general meeting held on Sunday, the finance ministry’s stake will increase to 86 percent from 36 percent, Asharq News reported.

State-backed Al Istedamah Holding owns the stake. Binladin Group is a private company owned by the Bin Ladin family since its founding in the 1930s.  

The new ownership structure is expected to strengthen Binladin International’s financials and support its expansion plans.
