Saudi Arabia is working on diversification and the expansion of the private sector as it swiftly transforms its national economy under the guidance of Vision 2030. As a result of this change, Saudi Arabia has created Special Economic Zones (SEZs), an effort that provides unmatched benefits to companies that are entirely foreign-owned and wish to establish operations in the Kingdom.
