Saudi government authority map: monarchy, ministries, regulators, PIF, and Vision 2030 execution

Saudi Arabia is a hereditary monarchy, and the Saudi government works through a centralized state structure led by the King, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Council of Ministers, ministries, authorities, regulators, royal commissions, digital platforms, and state-linked companies. The Basic Law says the system of governance is monarchical; a 2022 royal order made Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Prime Minister as an exception to the older default model in which the King chaired cabinet as Prime Minister [S1], [S2], [S3]. For Vision 2030, the practical issue is not only what type of government is Saudi Arabia. It is which institution has the mandate, budget, license, land, data platform, procurement route, or company control for a specific project.
