PREFACE
Intensive efforts to sustain development continued to be made in 2007
(1427/28). These efforts were aimed at raising living standards, improving
quality of life, and promoting further structural changes, including
horizontal and vertical diversification of Kingdom’s economic base. They
have resulted in an increased contribution of the producing sectors to the
GDP, enhanced productivity, and higher competitiveness of Saudi products
in both domestic and foreign markets. In addition, education, health and
social services have not only expanded but also improved in qualitative
terms. 2007 also saw completion of several infrastructure projects.
Together, these achievements have led to the creation of additional jobs
opportunities for the national workforce as well as creation of several
promising investment opportunities for the private sector.
The increasing number of public-private partnerships in the Kingdom is a
reflection of a greater level of collaboration and cooperation between the
government and private sector during the current phase of the
development. Indeed, the commencement of construction of six new
economic cities, led by King Abdullah Economic City, represents a
quantum leap in this area. Coupled with continued implementation of
various reform initiatives adopted by the government of the Custodian of
the Two Holy Mosques in economic, social and organizational spheres,
these efforts mark a distinct qualitative shift in the direction of the national
economy. Similarly, efforts made to enhance the country's investment
climate and to maintain economic stability have contributed to the creation
of a conducive environment for the implementation of these reform
initiatives. These initiatives include the organizational reforms relating to
the stock market to guard against severe crises and fluctuations and to
protect the interests of traders. They provide a level playing field and are
based on principles of transparency and fairness.
The combined strength of these factors enabled the Saudi economy to
sustaining high performance levels already achieved in 1426/27 (2006). In
fact, several development indicators even exceeded their already high
achievements. For example, the Saudi economy achieved a real growth
rate of 3.4% in 1427/28 (2007), coupled with a marked increase of per
capita GDP which grew to SR 81,792, compared to SR 77,335 in 1426/27
(2006), thus increasing by around 5.8%.
Gross Investment, a key driver of economic activity, grew from SR
180,646 million in 2006 to about SR 211,274 million in 2007, achieving an
average growth rate of 17%. This had a tremendous impact on generation
of job opportunities for Saudi manpower, resulting in some 169 thousand
additional jobs, leading to an increase of the total number of Saudi
workforce to 3,601 million, compared to 3,432 million during the previous
two years.
As described in relevant parts of this Twenty-fifth issue of the
Achievements of the Development Plans – Facts & Figures, several
positive results were achieved in most fields in 1427/28 (2007). Public
finance indicators (public revenues, expenditure and surplus) as well as
foreign trade indicators (exports, imports, balance of trade surplus and
current account surplus) have experienced marked improvement. This
book offers a detailed review of key achievements of the Saudi economy
during 1427/28 (2007). The underlying objective of this publication is to
provide a historical documentation of the achievements, coupled with
relevant statistics with a view to offer an integrated, high quality data base
covering the most significant socio-economic developments since the
beginning of the Kingdom’s five-year plans in 1390 (1970), up to the
present time. The Ministry of Economy and Planning is hopeful that the
publication of this book will help promote transparency regarding
Kingdom’s development performance, making these results available to
those interested in the Kingdom’s socio-economic developments in
general, as well as users who take serious interest in monitoring and
evaluation of the achievements of our development process.
It is worth noting in this context that the tangible achievements realized by
the Kingdom in all socio-economic areas, which helped raise living
standards and improve citizens’ quality of life, are primarily attributed to
the grace of Allah the Almighty, and the benevolent care and wise
directions of the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Abdullah Bin
Abdul Aziz, and HRH the Crown Prince, along with the coordinated
efforts of both the public and private sectors in preparing and
implementing the 8th Development Plan.
The Ministry of Economy and Planning would like to thank all
government and private entities for their cooperation in preparing this
publication. In the meantime, the Ministry would welcome any suggestions
or feedback by users to improve the contents of this book in the future.
