overview
Since the launch of Vision 2030, we have built a foundation, around
which unprecedented reforms were made in the public sector’s
operating model, the economy and society as a whole. This laid the
foundations of success for the future. We faced many challenges and
gained a myriad of experiences, which boosted our confidence in
achieving our future goals. We worked on improving the effectiveness
and response of the government, unlocked opportunities for growth and
investment.

 Effectively Governed
 The roles and requirements of government have grown
significantly since the Kingdom’s founding. We must
continue to evolve to keep pace with changing
expectations and new challenges. We are committed to
delivering the highest standards of transparency and
accountability, managing our finances efficiently and
effectively, creating agile public organizations and
implementing effective performance tracking.

6.
 Responsibly Enabled
 The nation we aspire to build requires the contribution of all Saudi
citizens. No matter if we are working in the public, private or non-
profit sectors, each of us has a role to fulfill if we are to achieve our
hopes and fulfill our aspirations and responsibilities to our country, our
society, our families, and to ourselves.

Keeping our traditions
 Saudi traditions are rooted in Islamic teachings and Arab customs. The highlights
of the year are the holy month of Ramadan and the Hajj (pilgrimage) season,
and the national holidays that follow them. The holy month of Ramadan, during
which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, culminates with the Eid Al Fitr holiday. The
Pilgrimage season draws millions of Muslim pilgrims from around the world come
to Makkah every year. It concludes with the Eid Al Adha holiday. Saudis’
valuable Arab traditions include generosity and hospitality. Arabic coffee (its
preparation is also a form of cultural tradition) is often served in small cups along
with dates and sweets as a hospitality gesture offered to visitors, friends or family.

Open for Business
 Further opening our country to investment will boost
productivity and accelerate our journey to becoming one
of the world’s largest economies. This will be achieved by
improving our business environment, restructuring our
economic cities, creating special zones and deregulating
the energy market to make it more competitive.

11.
 Leveraging our
Unique Position
 Saudi Arabia sits at the crossroads of important international trade routes
between three continents: Asia, Europe and Africa. We will maximize the
benefits of our exceptional geographic position, form new strategic
partnerships to grow our economy, and help Saudi companies to increase
exports of their products. We will leverage our proximity to energy sources
and our distinctive logistical offer to stimulate a new phase of
industrialization and boost trade.

12.
Diversification
 Diversifying our economy is vital for its sustainability. We have
long-term plans to increase our ranking among the 20 largest
economies in the world. Despite the headwinds of the global
economic slowdown, we are investing significantly in promising
new growth economic sectors to further diversify the economy,
and privatizing government services.

13.
Rationalization
 Rationalizing of our consumption of the available
resources is another way we can relieve the subsidy
burden a bit . Therefore , we must consume electricity,
petrol , and water more rationally and efficiently than
we are currently doing . It is an Islamic imperative that
we do not overuse whatever resources available
unnecessarily.
