However, foreign investors in recent years have experienced difficulty in using arbitration in the country.

The new arbitration law is based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration but with modifications to ensure that the arbitration process does not ‘violate Shari’ah’ as practiced in the Kingdom.
