Saudi Arabia regulatory reforms are the legal and institutional changes underpinning Vision 2030’s business environment agenda. Since 2016, the Kingdom has updated company law, civil transactions, investment rules, labour regulation, competition policy, capital markets, and sector licensing to make private-sector growth and foreign investment easier to execute.

The National Competitiveness Center (NCC) serves as the central institution for regulatory quality in Saudi Arabia. The NCC coordinates regulatory impact assessments, manages the national licensing reform programme, and publishes competitiveness benchmarks that track the Kingdom’s progress against international standards. Its mandate includes reviewing proposed regulations for their impact on business activity and recommending simplification or consolidation where regulatory burden is identified.
