Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is a strategic framework aimed at reducing the country's dependence on oil, diversifying its economy, and developing public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. Unveiled in 2016 by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the vision outlines ambitious goals to transform Saudi Arabia into a global investment powerhouse and a hub connecting three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa. It emphasizes the development of non-oil industries, private sector growth, and increasing foreign direct investment.
