The Report: Saudi Arabia 2025
Saudi Arabia is entering a new phase of Vision 2030, the Kingdom’s long-term development roadmap, with greater emphasis on consolidating and maximising the impact of economic reforms introduced over the past decade. Since the launch of Vision 2030 in 2016, the Kingdom has pursued an ambitious agenda aimed at diversifying and moving away from hydrocarbons and expanding private sector activity. Saudi Arabia is increasingly well positioned to sustain the growth of recent years and drive foreign capital inflows and privatisation, positioning it as a globally competitive investment destination while reinforcing international confidence in the Kingdom’s policy direction.
