DUBAI, June 1 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) plans to acquire a 30% stake in local supermarket chain Tamimi Markets Company, the kingdom's sovereign wealth fund said on Thursday.
PIF, which has more than $620 billion in assets under management, said it signed a share subscription agreement to invest in Tamimi Markets.
It said the transaction, which will involve a capital increase and subscription for new shares, aligns with the fund's strategy to enable the private sector and create Saudi national champions.
