Let me get this straight. They are taking back their 360 BILLION DOLLARS so they can attract foreign investment? Hey, with that much money, they don't NEED foreign investment. Does this sound loopy to anybody else?

I wondered the same thing, what are they "investing" in that requires more than $360 Billion?

It depends on what kind of foreign investment they're talking about. I would imagine companies aren't rushing to invest in Saudi Arabia anyway and I would guess this money would be used to provide equity or even debt for projects they want (sweetening the pot for foreign investors).
