Magnitt Report: MENA Records a 23% YoY Decline in Funding 

Magnitt's FY 2023 MENA Venture Investment Summary report shows that the region raised only $2.6 billion in 2023.

Magnitt unveiled its FY 2023 MENA Venture Investment Summary, providing a detailed account of the region's venture capital landscape. 

In a year of contrasts and surprises, the MENA region experienced a 23% year-on-year decline in funding, raising $2.6 billion in 2023. In addition, despite a surge in global VC interest, MENA's capital dip results from a 30% decrease in investors, with just 45% from outside the region.

However, the final quarter of the year defied global trends, emerging as the highest-performing quarter with a remarkable $1.2 billion across 128 transactions. And with $1.4 billion raised in 2023, Saudi Arabia ranked first by total funding for the first time, constituting 52% of all MENA funding.
