29/04/2021 Argaam


The Council of Economic and Development Affairs (CEDA), chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, rolled out the second phase for achieving the goals of Vision 2030.

 

The council took a number of recommendations necessary for moving on to the next phase for the progress of Vision 2030 goals that was rolled out in early 2021 and will continue until 2025.

 

The main features of the new phase include pushing for more achievements, and maintaining the momentum needed to continue with reforms. The recommendations include conducting development updates on the Vision Realization Program to ensure consistency with objectives, raise spending efficiency and response to economic developments.

 

The updates included restructuring some of the current programs, and creating others to keep pace with the requirements of the next phase, such as establishing a healthcare sector transformation program that aims to restructure the health sector.

Earlier this year, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) revealed its five-year strategy, which included increasing the fund's assets under management (AUMs) to SAR 4 trillion by the end of 2025 through its local and foreign investments.
