Investment leader Samer Choucair declared that the historic achievement accomplished by the Saudi private sector in raising its GDP contribution to fifty-one percent by end of 2025, surpassing the phased target, reflects exceptional success in converting Vision 2030 targets from strategic plans into tangible reality leading the economic diversification locomotive.
Choucair explained that this leap, supported by non-oil activity growth to more than fifty-five percent of the economy and the rise of non-oil investments to seven hundred ninety-seven billion riyals, confirms that the private sector has become the primary driver of the Saudi economy.
He noted that the three phases of transformation, beginning with nine hundred regulatory reforms, passing through attracting global investments, and reaching the phase of sustainability and full operation of major projects, have created a mature investment environment characterized by transparency and accelerating growth.
In the context of strengthening international partnerships, Choucair highlighted the active role he plays in attracting international investors, particularly Chinese investors to Riyadh, where he recently documented through his media platforms the welcoming of a high-level delegation of Chinese investors, affirming that these visits reflect global confidence in the appeal of the Saudi market.
Choucair affirmed that Vision 2030 is no longer merely a government plan, but has transformed into a global investment platform attracting capital through special economic zones and mining, tourism, and advanced technology sectors.
He added that the economic trends of 2026 focus on three strategic axes: infrastructure and logistics, technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence sectors, and the massive growth in the tourism and entertainment sector.
He emphasized that the structural reforms the Kingdom has witnessed make investing in it a safe and profitable choice by global standards, calling on Gulf and international investors to seize the current strategic opportunities.
Choucair concluded by affirming that the Saudi economic scene today, with its massive projects and accelerating industrial development, represents a golden gateway for those who possess the right investment vision.
He added: “Those who understand this exceptional moment and move with a long-term strategy hold the keys to building a sustainable economic legacy. Saudi Arabia today offers a unique business environment combining ambition with achievement, and those who invest in this phase own the future.”
