Saudi Arabia Wants Progress for Itself and The World
Extraordinary progress has been made since the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, and his Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, introduced Vision 2030 and set the Kingdom on a trajectory toward reform and innovation eight years ago. I will not go over the list of everything that has been already achieved, suffice to say that we have never seen progress at this pace in Saudi Arabia and perhaps the world. Yet, I've noticed the discontent in Western media. Some commentators criticize the Kingdom's approach and its bold, innovative mega-projects, raising doubts about our ability to achieve our ambitions. Most of the criticism amounts to little more than cheap shots and baseless unpersuasive claims. When they're not questioning NEOM's capacity to present a new model for sustainability, they are casting doubt, despite growing evidence that runs counter to their claims, on our ability to turn a land that had once been known for its sand and camels into a land of opportunity and hope. Yet, Saudi Arabia's efforts go far beyond its domestic metamorphosis. We have taken meaningful steps to promote peace and facilitate compromise among conflicting parties in our region and beyond. Our nation has exceeded expectations, taking bold positions with regard to ending conflicts in Yemen, Palestine, Iran, and Sudan. It has even played a leading role in efforts to end the war in Ukraine. We are a nation that is willing to take risks, adapt, and correct course when needed. The world often reads our fortunes from the fluctuation of oil prices, but our determination is the compass of the Saudi citizens. We are focused on our ability to consolidate stability- not only in global markets and economies but in international relations as well. Saudi Arabia is not vying to do well in a global popularity contest; it is relentlessly pursuing every possible avenue to improve the lives of its citizens, those of its Arab neighbors, and everyone in the world. Those sowing doubt and leaving a bitter taste in our mouths should know this: we are planting our seeds with care, patience, and adaptability. We will only savor the sweetness of our fruits after they ripen. Detractors have recently zeroed in on NEOM and The Line, claiming that these projects will harm the environment. However, this project essentially seeks to pioneer a new model of sustainability: a carbon-neutral city designed to become home to millions, foster innovation, and prove that we can live and thrive in harmony with the environment. Whatever it takes, Saudi Arabia will remain committed to realizing these goals. As for the flimsy and baseless criticisms, they will blow in the wind and be washed away by the rain. The Kingdom has already demonstrated its resolve to lead and to innovate. It has become a global frontier in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, urban development, fintech, and cybersecurity. Our nation is opening new doors, not closing windows or hiding behind excuses. Instead of criticizing these genuine positive efforts, the West should take a hard look at its own record. It remains the worst culprit of environmental destruction, pollution, and climate change to this day. The scale of waste in Western societies (of water and electricity, or through rampant overconsumption) is staggering. As Alexander Clapp shows in his book 'Waste Wars,' their pollution is often concealed behind the convenient fiction of recycling. In reality, their toxic waste is exported to the world's poorest countries. The media ought to investigate and confront this phenomenon instead of attacking Saudi Arabia's sincere efforts to offer new models of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Let them talk. Saudi Arabia is an optimistic nation driven by dynamism and ambition. Our visionary leaders have opened up new and unexpected horizons for national development and opportunity. We also understand that the road ahead will not always be straight or smooth and that progress demands adaptability and a willingness to make adjustments to address unforeseen obstacles. Our goal is simple: imagining and pursuing deliberate change, opening new doors, and sparking hope in progress for our people, our region, and the world. We welcome everyone who shares this spirit of innovation and audacity; we need one another. Amid fears of nuclear threats, conflicts fueled by artificial intelligence, rising tensions, anger, and division, Saudi Arabia believes that it is time to focus on progress, fresh thinking, and cooperation. We believe that we can help reverse the negative trajectory of global politics. We want to see humanity fulfill the divine promise not destroy the planet. The challenge, today, is to seek and apply new solutions. We must present a bold and constructive path forward for humanity while protecting our planet and the environment. The only way to achieve this is through action, and that is exactly what Saudi Arabia is doing.

Saudi Arabia opens June round of Sah savings sukuk with 4.76% return
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia has opened the June subscription window for its savings sukuk product 'Sah,' offering a return rate of 4.76 percent, as part of its 2025 issuance calendar. Organized by the National Debt Management Center under the Ministry of Finance, Sah is the Kingdom's first savings-focused sukuk designed for individual investors. The Shariah-compliant, riyal-denominated product is part of the local bonds program aimed at fostering financial inclusion and increasing personal savings. The June issuance opened for subscription from 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 1, until 3 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3. The bonds are structured for a one-year term with fixed returns, and profits will be paid at maturity. The minimum subscription is set at one bond with a value of SR1,000 ($266.56), while the maximum subscription per investor is capped at SR200,000. The product aligns with the Financial Sector Development Program under Saudi Vision 2030, which targets raising the national savings rate from 6 percent to 10 percent by 2030. The June issuance of Sah offers a slightly higher return compared to May, rising to 4.76 percent from the previous month's 4.66 percent, reflecting marginal shifts in market conditions. While both issuances maintain the same structure — Shariah-compliant, riyal-denominated sukuk with a one-year maturity and fixed returns — the June window opened slightly earlier in the month, running from June 1 to June 3, compared to May's window from May 4 to May 6. Subscription terms remain unchanged, with a minimum investment of SR1,000 and a cap of SR200,000 per individual. Both offerings are accessible through the same network of approved financial institutions. Sah is promoted as a secure, fee-free savings instrument offering stable, government-backed returns. Eligible investors must be Saudi nationals aged 18 and above and must subscribe through approved platforms provided by SNB Capital, Aljazira Capital, and Alinma Investment, as well as SAB Invest, or Al-Rajhi Capital. The sukuk is issued monthly, and the return rate for each tranche is determined based on prevailing market conditions. NDMC CEO Hani Al-Medaini said in March that the sukuk serves as a catalyst for private sector cooperation and participation in developing and launching various savings products tailored to diverse demographics. These initiatives could involve partnerships with banks, fund managers, financial technology companies, and more.

Saudi Arabia's Diriyah Co., Kakao Mobility sign deal to boost smart mobility
RIYADH: Diriyah Co., backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, has signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korea-based Kakao Mobility to enhance smart mobility infrastructure across the historic city of Diriyah. Announced in a post on X, the agreement is designed to develop integrated transportation solutions to accommodate the 50 million annual visitors projected during the first phase of the Diriyah project. The partnership will see Kakao Mobility contribute to the implementation of digital transport systems, seamless transit services, and smart parking infrastructure. The initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia's broader push to diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on oil, as outlined in Vision 2030. 'Mobility to shape the future of urban mobility. This collaboration brings smart, sustainable solutions to life, enhancing the digital movement experience for over 50 million annual visits by 2030,' Diriyah Co. stated in its post on X. The agreement marks the beginning of a phased rollout, starting with a smart parking pilot. The project also includes plans for a fully integrated prototype for smart parking and the deployment of advanced digital systems to streamline urban movement within Diriyah. In addition to enhancing visitor mobility, the collaboration supports Saudi Arabia's National Tourism Strategy, which aims to attract 150 million visitors annually by 2030. The company emphasized that the digital platform under development will connect key destinations within Diriyah, contributing to sustainable urban mobility and reinforcing the Kingdom's commitment to innovation and smart city solutions. Once completed, the Diriyah development is expected to contribute SR18.6 billion ($4.96 billion) to the Kingdom's gross domestic product and create approximately 178,000 jobs. In April, Diriyah Co. awarded a contract worth SR5.1 billion for the construction of the Royal Diriyah Opera House — a major cultural project. The contract was granted to El-Seif Engineering Contracting, Midmac Contracting Co. W.L.L., and China State Construction Engineering Corp.
