Saudi Vision 2030 (Arabic: رؤية السعودية ٢٠٣٠ ruʾyat al-suʿūdiyah alfayn thalāthūn, sometimes called Project 2030) is a government program launched by Saudi Arabia which aims to achieve the goal of increased diversification economically, socially and culturally, in line with the vision of Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman. It was first announced on 25 April 2016 by the Saudi government.[1]
The Council of Ministers has tasked the Council of Economic and Development Affairs (CEDA) with identifying and monitoring the mechanisms and measures crucial for the implementation of "Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030".[2]
Despite efforts to reduce Saudi dependence on oil, as of 2022[update], Saudi Arabia remains heavily dependent on oil revenue, as measured by its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), fiscal revenue and exports.[3] Oil accounted for approximately 40% of Saudi GDP and 75% of its fiscal revenue.[3] Additionally, the program is facing strong criticism from human rights advocates, with allegedly over 21,000 workers having died on the job in program-related projects between 2017 and 2024, according to a 2024 investigation.[4][5]
