As of May 26, 2026, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is the king and head of state; Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud is crown prince, prime minister, chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs, and chairman of PIF [S1], [S2], [S8]. The line begins with Abdulaziz Al Saud, the founder and first king of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which was proclaimed in 1932 after his unification campaigns [S5]. For Vision 2030, the practical governance point is that strategy, capital allocation, delivery oversight, and succession credibility are concentrated around the king, the crown prince, CEDA, PIF, ministries, royal commissions, and project companies [S1], [S2], [S8], [S9].</p>
