Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a transformation that is creating unprecedented and unparalleled opportunities for both investors and the Kingdom alike. The Government has committed itself to Vision 2030: the Kingdom’s roadmap to a brighter and more sustainable future through creating a vibrant society, a thriving economy, and an ambitious nation. In this effort, we are inviting investors to take part in our next success story, ushered in by a new generation of investments in Vision 2030, for a new generation economy.

The Kingdom offers investors an unparalleled opportunity: Not only can they tap into large and growing markets domestically and beyond Saudi Arabia’s borders using the Kingdom as a launch pad; they can also invest in a country that – as part of its 2030 strategy – is inviting the private sector to play a role in providing lucrative goods and services in areas previously occupied by the public sector.

These opportunities are being developed in an environment that is home to one of the most liberal investment laws in the region where investors can own %100 of their business alongside with many other business-friendly regulations and incentives.

As we welcome you to the Kingdom, it is our aim to provide you with a unique investor experience supported by a country that is committed to help you establish and expand your business.

It is my pleasure to invite you to explore what the Kingdom has to offer.

The Saudi Arabian market is underpinned by fundamentals that make the Kingdom both a lucrative and sustainable place to invest. With a population nearly 32 million strong, the domestic market is fueled by a young and commercially savvy consumer base that is rapidly growing at a rate of 2.5% per year. The Kingdom’s average consumer enjoys relatively high purchasing power, creating a commercial environment that is regionally unique: nowhere else can you find such a large market with the spending power to match.

From Saudi Arabia, investors will find themselves on an economically and politically stable launch pad to reach diversified business opportunities in Africa, Asia, and Europe. With a continuously enhanced world-class infrastructure linking Saudi Arabia to the outside world, Saudi-based businesses are only a five-hour flight away from 1.5 billion consumers in the exciting emerging and mature economies of Africa, Asia and Europe.

Though traditionally driven by government spending, the dynamics of the market are rapidly shifting to unveil new opportunities for local and foreign investors alike. Under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 agenda – the Kingdom’s roadmap to a brighter and more sustainable future – the government is inviting the private sector to play a larger role in the delivery of goods and services as the Kingdom’s partner.

This market is complemented by a large and modern economy with strong foundations. Saudi Arabia has enjoyed an annual average increase in GDP of approximately 5% over the last five years; the Kingdom ranks 4th in macroeconomic stability, has the largest economy in MENA, and the 20th largest in the world; public debt in Saudi Arabia is the lowest in the G20.

2016 projected revenues ahead of estimate, registering SAR528bn out of which SAR199bn representing non-oil sector or %38 of the total revenues. The Kingdom’s balance sheet remains strong with SAMA’s FX assets estimated at %84 of GDP, the third largest in GDP terms globally. General government assets are considerably above %100 of GDP.

Yanbu, however, is expanding quickly to further accommodate investors seeking to leverage Yanbu’s strategic position on the Red Sea. At the end of Q3 2016, the aggregate investments by the city in the past 5 years reached $16 billion.

At the heart of the Kingdom’s comparative advantages is its young population: Approximately half the country is under the age of 25, providing investors with a large and youthful pool of labor to draw from.

Saudi Arabia’s demographics are complimented by its commitment to education: over the last decade the government has spent nearly a quarter of its annual budgets on education and training programs to rapidly enhance the capability of the workforce and foster the development of knowledge-based economy. This has led to a marked increase in the number of institutions of higher learning and the number of Saudi students studying at universities across the country.

Government spending on education has also created landmark programs and institutions to further enable the Saudi workforce and knowledge based economy to reach the next stage of competitiveness.

The King Abdullah Scholarship Program

The King Abdullah Scholarship Program is the world’s largest government sponsored scholarship, annually providing approximately 180,000 Saudi students the opportunity to study at the best universities and institutions of higher learning abroad. Though one can find Saudi students studying any number of disciplines, roughly 75% are undertaking degrees in subjects geared towards the industries of tomorrow including engineering, business management, health, informatics, physics, and mathematics.

Though the United States is the most popular destination for King Abdullah scholars, Saudi students can be found from the UK, to France, to China.

Expatriates account for approximately a third of Saudi Arabia’s total population, some of who have lived in the country for 3 generations. Politically stable, well ordered and very safe environment, Saudi Arabian society places great emphasis on family life, safety, hospitality and tradition. Generous tax-free salaries, luxurious housing, and the minimum standard of 30 days paid vacation are all benefits offered to skilled expatriates. The cost of living is very reasonable: housing and transportation are a part of most expats’ salary packages; very little money needs to be spent to live in the Kingdom.

When working in the Kingdom, expatriates often choose to live in purpose-built gated communities called compounds. This luxurious housing is safe, comfortable, and often paired with extensive on-site facilities such as supermarkets, swimming pools, bowling alleys, gyms and even golf courses. There are numerous private schools that cater to the expat community. Some are governed by embassies, while others are privately organized and host multiple curricula.

Saudi Arabia has first-class health facilities, both public and private. Every major city has hospitals with plenty of well-trained staff and state-of-the-art equipment. English is widely spoken, especially among the private care providers: Many doctors and medical personnel are foreigners or Saudis nationals who received their training abroad.

Saudi Arabia is a shopper’s paradise, with everything from vast, gleaming, modern state of the art malls to vibrant souks selling spices, and traditional arts & crafts. Saudi Arabia offers spectacular scenery when you venture into the deserts, the mountains of Abha, or the beaches along the coast of the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea. Among Saudi Arabia’s historic, cultural and scenic attractions are ancient castles, huge sand dunes and the spectacular coral reefs to explore and enjoy.
