Women represent 20% of entrepreneurs and project owners as well as 50% of university graduates in Saudi Arabia, Iman Al-Mutairi, Assistant Minister of Commerce and Investment during a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

"The Kingdom implemented several legal as well as legislative reforms as regards women," said Al-Mutairi, adding that these reforms included providing women with more opportunities and more labor market skills.
