Al-Jadaan: Saudi Arabia to continue economic diversification beyond 2030

DOHA — Saudi Minister of Finance Mohammed Al-Jadaan said that the Gulf countries in general, and the Saudi Arabia in particular, take the path of reform and economic diversification very seriously. “This path will not stop at the end of 2030, the date set for achieving the goals of the vision launched by Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, but rather it is a continuous work,” he said while addressing a dialogue session discussing enhancing the global competitiveness of the Gulf countries at Qatar Economic Forum (QEF) here on Wednesday. In his remarks on the topic “Maximizing the Gulf’s Global Competitiveness” Al-Jadaan emphasized that Saudi Arabia will not stop after 2030 because there are me any opportunities that can be seized. “This journey is not going to end in 2030. This is an ongoing journey, and there are a lot of opportunities that you can capture and harness,” the minister said. He stressed the role of companies and investors in driving the development of the economy, saying that “if we fail to involve the private sector that is more effective than the government, it will be difficult to achieve the diversification program according to Vision 2030.” Al-Jadaan also
