Vision 2030 delivery

Before

When Vision 2030 launched in April 2016, the plan was bold to the point of skepticism: diversify away from oil, double homeownership, get women into the workforce, build entire new tourism industries — all on a 14-year clock. Many called the targets unrealistic.

Initiative

Ten Vision Realization Programs running on a shared delivery framework with transparent reporting, ~1,290 active initiatives across the public sector, and 390 KPIs tracked annually. The Vision Realization Office publishes a public Annual Report measuring progress on every indicator.

Outcome

The 2025 Annual Report (released April 2026) shows 93% of indicators achieved or on track — up from 85% the year before. 935 of 1,290 initiatives are fully implemented, with another 225 on schedule. Vision 2030 has now entered its third and final phase (2026–2030), focused on acceleration.

For citizens

Every major target a Saudi citizen would have heard about in 2016 — homeownership, women working, jobs, life expectancy, tourism, non-oil GDP — has either been met early or is on track for 2030. The plan turned out to be more credible than its critics.
