Kingdom of Saudi Arabia approved
the announcement of Saudi Arabia’s
Vision 2030, constituting a road map
to take the country forward for the next
15 years. The National Transformation
Programme, also a part of Saudi Arabia’s
Vision 2030, defines the road maps for
individual government entities. According
to this blueprint, government ministries
and institutions in Saudi Arabia are now
undergoing a restructuring process to align
them to this requirement.
Other member countries in the GCC have
had various economic and free zone

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 seeks to take
the country to the next level of economic
prosperity, delinking it from its dependence
of an oil-led economy.
