2025年2月,由于沙特PIF合同禁令和领导权问题,PwC削减了1 500名中东工作人员,但维持长期区域增长计划。 PwC cut 1,500 Middle East staff in Feb 2025 due to Saudi PIF contract bans and leadership issues, but maintains long-term regional growth plans.

自2025年2月起,在沙特阿拉伯因关系紧张和Neom审计主任的雇用尝试失败而禁止新的咨询合同之后,PwC在2025年2月开始的中东业务中削减了约60个伙伴和1 500名工作人员。 PwC has cut around 60 partners and 1,500 staff in its Middle East operations starting February 2025, following a Saudi Arabia PIF ban on new advisory contracts due to strained relations and a failed hire attempt involving Neom’s audit chief. 该公司重新评估了其区域战略,导致领导层的更迭,英国普华永道的Laura Hinton从2025年10月起担任该区域共同领导。 The firm reassessed its regional strategy, leading to leadership changes with Laura Hinton of PwC UK set to co-lead the region from October 2025. 减少工作主要影响到与像Neom这样的重大项目挂钩的咨询作用,尽管由于高需求地区新雇用的人员和继续征聘初级工作人员,总体人数保持稳定。 Job reductions mainly affected consulting roles tied to major PIF projects like Neom, though overall headcount remained stable thanks to new hires in high-demand areas and continued recruitment of junior staff. 尽管削减了,但普华永道重申其在该区域的长期增长计划,6月推动62个新伙伴。 Despite the cuts, PwC reaffirmed its long-term growth plans in the region, having promoted 62 new partners in June. 该公司在其英国结果中列举了更广泛的经济挑战,而设在阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯的中东业务仍然在500个合作伙伴中雇用约11 000人。 The firm cited broader economic challenges in its UK results, while the Middle East operations, based in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, still employ about 11,000 people across 500 partners.
