Saudi: TGA mandates national address for all parcel shipments by January 2026
This decision is part of the TGA's ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of the parcel delivery sector and improve service delivery for beneficiaries.
This strategic directive aims to optimize the customer experience, expedite delivery processes, and minimize unnecessary interactions between delivery personnel and recipients. Implementing the national address requirement is expected to achieve higher accuracy and operational efficiency within parcel delivery companies.
The TGA clarified that individuals can access their national address easily through four digital platforms: Absher, Tawakkalna, Sehhaty, and SPL. This initiative aligns with the TGA's commitment to supporting the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy and its goal of developing the parcel transportation sector, fostering sustainability, and solidifying the Kingdom's position as a leading global logistics hub.
The TGA reported that during Ramadan, the volume of postal shipments handled by licensed companies exceeded 26 million, representing an 18 percent growth rate compared to the same period in the previous year. This data underscores the rapid advancements of the Kingdom's parcel delivery sector.

In a statement, H.E. Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), emphasised that Riyadh Season's sponsorship of this high-level partnership is part of its broader efforts to cement the season's global presence. He noted that the previous year's sponsorship of LALIGA marked a key milestone in that journey, and this new initiative continues that strategic direction, reinforcing Riyadh Season's international impact across diverse sectors. Javier Tebas, President of LaLiga, said: 'We are pleased to join forces with Riyadh Season and Thmanyah to enhance the audiovisual production standards of the Saudi Pro League—which we have already enjoyed a fruitful collaboration. We are starting from a solid foundation, as the SPL's audiovisual production is already managed by highly skilled professionals. It will be a pleasure to work alongside them in delivering even more exceptional broadcast experiences. At LaLiga, we are deeply committed to sharing our knowledge and expertise to support the global development of football. This partnership represents an important milestone for Saudi football and its international reach.' Under the agreement, LaLiga will provide consultancy and technical expertise to enhance SPL's audiovisual standards, including camera positioning, signal configuration, audio systems, stadium lighting and modern production workflows. The plan also includes creating a technical production manual, introducing advanced broadcast technologies and delivering specialised training to develop local production talent. The partnership further incorporates an anti-piracy initiative to protect premium sports and entertainment content in Saudi Arabia. Oversight will be led by Tebas, supported by audiovisual experts and regional coordinators through LaLiga's MENA office, in coordination with stakeholders in the Kingdom. Backed by Riyadh Season, the alliance aims to offer a richer, fully integrated viewing experience that boosts broadcast quality and strengthens audience engagement both domestically and worldwide.

Saudi Arabia's digital experience maturity index reaches 86.7% in 2025
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's Digital Government Authority has announced that the 2025 Digital Experience Maturity Index reached 86.71%, placing the Kingdom at an 'advanced' level in its ongoing digital transformation. The result comes after a comprehensive evaluation of 50 digital platforms across four main dimensions and 20 detailed criteria, covering user satisfaction, interface quality, complaint handling, and the use of advanced technologies. According to DGA Governor Eng. Ahmed Al-Suwayan, the findings reflect the strong commitment of government entities to enhancing service delivery and public satisfaction through accessible, seamless, and effective digital platforms. The index also recorded an increase in public engagement, with more than 374,000 users participating in this year's evaluation — up from the previous year — underscoring growing public trust and interaction with digital government services. Among the evaluated platforms, several stood out with scores above 90%, including Absher (93.95%), the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority's platform (93.25%), Tawakkalna (91.89%), Etimad (91.43%), and Qiwa (91.06%). Other notable platforms included Ehsan, the Ministry of Tourism portal, the GOSI platform, Sehhaty, and Sanea'i, all of which earned 'advanced' status for their digital service quality and usability. This year's index also introduced a new sub-measure focused on digital inclusivity, which achieved a score of 75.3% at an 'empowered' level, signaling the government's growing attention to ensuring all segments of society — including people with disabilities and the elderly — can independently access and benefit from digital services. The DGA noted that the Kingdom continues to improve its index methodology annually, ensuring it remains aligned with global digital trends. In 2024, Saudi Arabia ranked first regionally in ESCWA's eGovernment and mGovernment Maturity Index and placed fourth globally and second among G20 countries in the UN's Digital Services Index. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
