So recently, I attended the EFG Hermes conference in Dubai, where I had the chance to learn about the various growth opportunities spread across the Middle East. One of the more interesting topics that continued to come up in my discussions with corporates was the impact the Saudi Vision 2030 plan would have on various sectors and businesses.

CALLOUT: The kingdom is actively working to diversify its economy away from its reliance on oil revenues and promote sectors such as:

  • tourism
  • healthcare
  • education
  • renewable energy

In addition, my team and I also learned more about the investment incentives being implemented by the kingdom and regional governments as well as how important the prioritization of technology and innovation is in driving economic growth across economies. As we look ahead, we’re excited to monitor the development of this region and the investment opportunities likely to arise with it.
