Progress & Achievements

Five years after Vision 2030 was unveiled, many noteworthy achievements have been made to support the Kingdom’s economic diversification objectives and build a prosperous future for the people of Saudi Arabia. The Vision Realization Programs have achieved remarkable successes across the vision's pillars:

• A Vibrant Society: This pillar has progressed as a result of adopting healthy lifestyles and serving Hajj & Umrah pilgrims from all around the world, in addition to embracing the Kingdom's archaeological sites and getting them inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

• A Thriving Economy: This pillar has achieved the 2030 target for women's participation in the workforce in 2020. Additionally, the assets of the Public Investment Fund have grown significantly, and the contribution of SMEs to the GDP has increased.

• An Ambitious Nation: This pillar has made progress in the two strategic objectives; "Effectively Governed" and "Responsibly Enabled", as non-oil revenues increased significantly in 2020, and the number of volunteers doubled annually to reach 409K volunteers in 2020.
