Saudi Arabia’s Voluntary National Review ties sustainability to Vision 2030’s final years

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia is entering the final years of Vision 2030 with a sustainability agenda increasingly aligned with economic diversification, regional development, and private-sector investment, a new review report showed.

According to the Kingdom’s 2026 Voluntary National Review, issued by the Ministry of Economy and Planning, Saudi Arabia requires renewed commitment, adaptive strategies, and accelerated action to maintain momentum toward its development goals.

It identifies sustained non-oil gross domestic product growth, attracting sustainable foreign direct investment, reducing regional economic disparities, and strengthening sustainability across industry and mining as priorities through 2030 and beyond.

The report opens by linking those priorities to the Kingdom’s broader development agenda, with Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman saying: “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues to unleash its enormous economic, geographical and cultural potential, and its pioneering efforts in sustainability and environmental conservation.”
