Saudi  Arabia places Mining as most important of its diversification efforts

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, has placed mining at the forefront of its economic diversification efforts. The move was bold, given KSA’s strong reliance on oil and strategic, as mining was not as developed as this sector. 

However, the government’s commitment to making mining the third pillar of Saudi Arabia’s economy is unparalleled in other mining jurisdictions. 

As part of Vision 2030, the Future Minerals Forum (FMF) emerged in Riyadh, quickly becoming one of the leading go-to events in the industry. It brings together key C-level executives and governmental figures to discuss not only the current state of the sector but also its future direction, particularly within the newly coined term, the “Super Region,” where KSA is strategically positioned at the center, connecting Africa, the Middle East, and Central and South Asia.
