The 12th edition of the Riyadh Economic Forum concluded in October 2026 with 33 strategic recommendations drawn from five specialized studies, aimed at strengthening cooperation between Saudi Arabia's public and private sectors.
The recommendations covered a broad range of economic priorities, including the impact assessment of legislation and public policy, knowledge transfer and localization, and solutions to traffic congestion. They also examined the economic opportunities tied to Expo 2030 and the FIFA World Cup 2034, alongside the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture.
The forum's stated goal is to turn studies and recommendations into practical economic initiatives, ensuring that research efforts translate into tangible outcomes that support growth across the Kingdom.
For residents and business owners in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia, the discussions signal continued momentum toward closer collaboration between government bodies and private enterprises. Topics such as easing traffic congestion and preparing for major upcoming global events are expected to shape investment and development priorities in the coming years.
No fees, application steps, or government-service procedures apply to the review of these recommendations, which form part of ongoing efforts to build a more diversified and competitive economy.
