He noted that the forum has succeeded in reaching important recommendations to serve the national economy, focusing on infrastructure development, improving the development of national human resources, and considering the best means of investing natural resources.

It also considered and developed the legislative environment and policies affecting the business and investment environment. The forum has also attached attention to Saudi women through developing and expanding their participation in economic development.

For his part, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Riyadh Economic Forum Dr. Khaled Bin Suleiman Al-Rajhi, explained that the 10th session will deal with four main studies.

Linking the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s regions to railways and their impact on the prosperity of tourism and logistics services.

Examining the prospects and challenges of the new area of work (self-employment, flexible work, and remote work); and finally considering new investments, digital transformation and knowledge economy.

Noting that the forum, since its inception, has prepared 49 in-depth studies that resulted in 308 recommendations and initiatives.
