| dc.description | Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 represents a transformative shift towards economic diversification and reduced reliance on oil, with an emphasis on sectors such as tourism, technology, and renewable energy. Situated strategically between East and West, the Kingdom boasts unparalleled geographic advantages, offering direct access to key international markets. This project delves into the country’s efforts to attract FDI by enhancing its investment climate through regulatory reforms, improved infrastructure, and targeted incentives for high-potential sectors. With initiatives like the development of NEOM and the expansion of the Red Sea Project, Saudi Arabia aims to create a robust business environment that is both competitive and globally aligned. The study not only evaluates the impact of these strategies but also provides practical recommendations to address existing challenges, ensuring that Saudi Arabia remains a key player in attracting and retaining foreign investment. | |
