Saudi Arabia is intensifying its commitment to economic diversification under the Vision 2030 initiative, aiming to reduce reliance on oil revenues and promote growth in the non-oil sector. Finance Minister Mohammed Al Jadaan emphasized the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) for achieving a target of $100 billion by 2030, despite challenges in meeting this goal.
