As Vision 2030 marks its ninth year, Saudi Arabia stands at a pivotal moment. The Kingdom is delivering on its promise of transformation – empowering its people, reshaping its economic landscape, and unlocking new opportunities at scale.
The past year has delivered concrete progress across economic, social, and institutional fronts confirming the strength of the Kingdom’s strategic direction and the commitment driving it.
Vision 2030 is built on the Kingdom’s core strengths: its central role in the Arab and Islamic worlds, its influence within the global economy, and its strategic geographic location.
These foundations have been paired with a clear reform agenda and long-term planning to enable durable and inclusive growth.
Vision 2030 has progressed in clear phases. The first established a strong foundation – introducing sweeping reforms, launching Vision Realization Programs (VRPs), and building institutional capability and capacity. This phase focused on unlocking potential and preparing for rapid transformation.
the Vision Realization Programs (VRPs) have played a central role in delivering Vision 2030’s objectives – strengthening coordination, building capabilities across the ecosystem, breaking silos, and accelerating progress.
Launched in the initial phase of Vision 2030, the VRPs were designed as the primary implementation vehicles for turning the Vision into action.
As medium-term programs, the VRPs have evolved over time to remain aligned with national priorities, adapting to changing economic and developmental needs across each phase of Vision 2030.
Some programs have been merged, others concluded, and new ones launched to reflect emerging priorities. Most recently, the Fiscal Sustainability Program was concluded after successfully achieving its objectives.
Its core functions were transferred to the Ministry of Finance and other relevant entities.
Today, 10 Vision Realization Programs remain in operation, each contributing to the continued delivery of Vision 2030.
The second phase built on this foundation, accelerating impact through regional and sectoral coverage, increased private sector engagement, and a more integrated, national delivery model. The pace of change quickened -and so did the scale.
In 2026, Vision 2030 will enter its third and final phase of delivery: a new chapter focused on entering full delivery mode, expanding opportunity across every sector, and sustaining the impact well beyond 2030.
Over the past year, several Vision 2030 targets have been reached ahead of schedule. Others have been exceeded entirely.
But the progress isn’t only in numbers – it’s seen in improved quality of life, greater opportunity, and renewed confidence in what’s possible.
This report outlines the milestones achieved in 2024 and the continued steps being taken to deliver on Vision 2030.
It reflects a collective national effort – driven by leadership, enabled by institutions, and brought to life by the people of Saudi Arabia.
It’s through this shared commitment that the Kingdom continues to lead with purpose, deliver with clarity, and shape a future definedby ambition.
