Are You Sure You Mean Saudi Arabia!

You mean hot weather in the desert where people live in tents and camels are the only mean of transportation!

    Saudi was ranked 36 by The World Economic Forum’s Competitiveness Report 2019(1). However, the kingdom’s reforms are constantly improving and even improve more with the kingdom showed great leadership dealing with the pandemic by setting a vision to help other countries. The vision was followed by fast execution using two ways: (1) Hosting and leading the urgent G20 summit and pledging millions for helping others; (2) Sending tons of aids to allies through King Salman Humanitarian Aid And Relief Centre @KSRelief_EN.  

 


 

 

    While Saudi Arabia might have sacrificed its chances of moving up with ranking in The World Economic Forum’s Competitiveness Report or any other standards, Saudi embrace humanity for the greater good by setting the standards of protecting lives. 

 

    With that being said about international standards, 2020 pandemic has made some countries come top in infrastructure health, protecting labor market and support business with aids. Making human capital number one priority means, in a way, letting people focus on their specialties which increases the chances of innovations. Local talents and international talents come together to stream high quality ideas. One notable goal is not profits since the government is the drive force in implementing friendly policies.

 

    Saudi Arabia’s strategy started with a vision toward the international community and taking the responsibility to help other countries. Moreover, the kingdom has taken the necessary actions for MENA region especially for the most needed countries that affected by locust2 swarms and floods.

    Saudi Arabia is the kingdom, that is always awake, is famous for its two holy cities for Muslims. Saudi Arabia is advancing up too fast that world reports are always behind with their reports. For example, Absher system has set the infrastructure for achieving nonstop efficiency to serve the residents and citizens of Saudi Arabia even during the full lockdown that Saudi Arabia has been one of the first countries to implant during the first wave (Months March-June).

    The well-being of Saudi Arabia results in a stronger nation that keeps progressing. For example, Global AI Summit took place recently. It shows that joint efforts for human civilization progress still happening and sets the pathways to post-pandemic economy recovery. Lets remember hackers has been taking advantage of the extra to develop their skills, but Saudi has been keeping spending on cyber security developments for a resilient future.

    In Saudi Arabia, human capital are the most valued asset, thus, the free health care even with monthly salaries (7000-11000 SAR) for the great minds from all over the world to focus on their passions and worry about nothing, it makes Saudi a leading environment for innovation. The unique culture gives a fresh perspectives which encourage creative ideas and solutions.

 

 

Some of the Saudi Government strategic support as follow:

 

  1. Zero interests’ rate or grants along with business-incubating, and support for innovation activities.
  2. Reliable internet,
  3. Excellent online services including renewing most of the official documents, online banking and services thanks to great infrastructures. 

 

Thanks to those efforts, investments have been risen.

 

There are no magical place:

World reports are just tools and cannot give you the best place to live in without your considerations for what it is important for. With these few words, you might begin to develop what you want in any place to live in.
