Vision 2030: Ambitious Reforms and Strategic Shifts
As an absolute monarchy, Saudi Arabia is governed by King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who ascended to the throne in 2015. However, it is his son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who has become the dominant figure in Saudi politics. Since his appointment as crown prince in 2017, MBS has spearheaded an ambitious series of economic and social reforms under the Vision 2030 program, aimed at diversifying the Saudi economy and modernizing the nation.
