On April 25, the Saudi government presented Vision 2030, a sweeping plan for moving the kingdom beyond oil dependence. Alongside the privatization of a portion of the Saudi national oil company Aramco and the expansion of the resources and role of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, the plan proposes a broad socioeconomic transformation that would open new avenues of participation in the economy and public life, including the development of cultural resources and tourism.

As part of its extensive coverage of Saudi Vision 2030, AGSIW is pleased to host a discussion examining the socioeconomic and political dimensions of the vision, the conditions that led to its introduction, and the implications of its implementation.
