Economist Dr. Bandar Al-Juaid said that Saudi Arabia's economy no longer simply manages crises.

Speaking in an interview with Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Juaid explained that the Kingdom's economy now transforms crises into opportunities, thanks to structural reforms and Vision 2030, which have strengthened its resilience and appeal to investors.

He added that the International Monetary Fund's Article IV Consultation report on Saudi Arabia for 2026 is one of the most important reports, serving as technical advice for economies regarding their current situation and future outlook. The report is highly significant for credit rating agencies and companies.

Al-Juaid noted that the report highlights the importance of the steps Saudi Arabia has taken and the flexibility of its economy in handling crises, as well as achieving economic growth. The IMF praised the Kingdom's ongoing economic reforms.
