About Saudi Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is located on the Arabian Peninsula at the intersection of Asia, Europe, and Africa. Its borders extend to Jordan and Iraq in the north and Yemen and Oman in the south. This strategic location makes Saudi Arabia an important actor in global trade, providing access to diverse markets and a central location for international commercial activities. The capital, Riyadh, serves as the political and financial center of Saudi Arabia, playing a vital role in driving the country's economy and oering great economic opportunities in the region. Riyadh also attracts international companies and investors, creating a dynamic environment for trade and investment.

According to May 31, 2023 data, 32.2 million people live in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia exported goods and services worth 1,075 billion Saudi riyals (1,036 billion riyals in goods and 39 billion riyals in services) in 2021. The 2021 import figure is 848 billion riyals (573 billion riyals in goods and 277 billion riyals in services). The primary market for Saudi Arabia's non-oil exports is Asia, with 55%. Among Asian countries, China is in the lead with 191 billion riyals. Most exports are to Arab and Islamic countries outside Asia. In return, Asia accounts for 36% of imports.

Saudi Arabia's prominence in the global economy is due to its role as a leading oil producer and its significant influence in the energy sector. This, combined with its strategic location, positions the Kingdom as a major player in shaping international trade dynamics. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is of great importance as it is in the heart of the Arab and Islamic worlds and has a strategic geographical location that has historically made it a vital trade route between the East and the West. Also, Saudi Arabia is one of the leading economies of the future, with untapped opportunities and unique investment possibilities.

The framework of this vision has brought about many economic reforms that have formed new business opportunities, raised the Kingdom's main strategic assets, and driven growth by attracting foreign direct investments in various sectors such as industry, construction, tourism, agriculture, technology, information, energy, arts, oil, and gas.
