Saudi Arabia - Transport and Logistics: Vision 2030 to drive growth (Strategy, Performance and Risk Analysis)
SUMMARY
Saudi Arabia’s roads and railways provide efficient and affordable transportation. Facilities to neighboring countries have proved beneficial. The country has 100,000 miles of paved roads, the most famous of which is the King Fahd Causeway that links Saudi Arabia to Bahrain. Foreign direct investment (FDI) recorded a CAGR of 11.6%, from US$12.2bn in 2012 to US$7.5bn in 2016. The decline was primarily due to a fall in oil prices. Geopolitical tensions in the region may also account for the decrease. The industries that attract the most FDI are oil, gas, chemicals, real estate, hotels and tourism.
