A Thriving Economy: Saudi Vision 2030 Programme 2026

This programme guide tracks A Thriving Economy, the Saudi Vision 2030 pillar that turns diversification into 2026 execution priorities: PIF capital deployment, private-sector GDP, jobs, FDI, SMEs, non-oil exports, and new-sector creation. It links the pillar’s headline KPIs to the institutions and programmes responsible for moving the Kingdom’s revenue base, productive capacity, and employment structure away from hydrocarbon dependence.

The pillar’s ambition is comprehensive. It mandates the transformation of the Public Investment Fund into a global investment powerhouse, the expansion of private-sector contribution to GDP from 40 percent to 65 percent, the creation of millions of private-sector jobs for Saudi nationals, the attraction of foreign direct investment at scale, the development of small and medium enterprises as growth engines, the expansion of non-oil exports, and the cultivation of entirely new economic sectors including tourism, entertainment, mining, logistics, and the digital economy.

Its targets cover private-sector expansion, foreign direct investment, small and medium enterprise development, labour market reform, non-oil exports, and the cultivation of new economic sectors.
