Additionally, a balance between boosting oil production capacity and capitalising on an early-mover advantage in clean energy solutions is helping the Kingdom support global energy security while working toward domestic net-zero targets. With a favourable macroeconomic environment and widespread social and educational reforms shaping growth, the Kingdom remains an attractive destination for foreign investors.
