For decades, Saudi Arabia has primarily relied on oil and gas exports, which led the royal family to build the largest economy in the Middle East. However, under a comprehensive development program, Saudi Vision 2030, the country, in 2016, rolled out bold plans to diversify non-oil exports and increase its share in non-oil GDP from 16% to 50% in 2030 through a US$266 billion investment. Under this plan, the share of the transport and logistics sector in the kingdom's GDP is projected to rise from the current 6% to 10% in 2030. The country hopes to take advantage of its strategic location in the Middle East and become a logistics hub that connects Asia, Europe, and Africa, said Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, describing this as one of the key elements of future development. |
