$100 billion in FDI by 2030

KSA has set an ambitious goal of reaching $100 billion in foreign direct investments (FDI) by 2030. However, its current growth trajectory falls short of this goal.
We identified key dimensions that affect FDI attraction related to labour and then tested the existing labour policies against these dimensions and shortlisted those with potential impacts on FDI attraction. To gain deeper insights, we conducted expert interviews and surveys with both foreign and domestic investors from the public and private sectors.

Shifting the labor market

Our analysis, stakeholder engagement and comprehensive benchmarking with best practice identified and shortlisted the key drivers to FDI attractiveness, developing a prioritised set of actionable solutions focused on shifting the paradigm of the Saudi labor market and simplifying market entry conditions to drive foreign investment
