RIYADH, Oct 12 — Saudi Arabia seeks to attract foreign investment of more than US$100 billion annually under a National Investment Strategy announced Monday as part of efforts to diversify the oil-dependent economy.
SPA said it will be “a key enabler” of his Vision 2030 plan, announced in 2016 to diversify the economy of the world’s biggest oil exporter.
