This expansionary growth (15.4% increase in the oil sector and positive growth in the non-oil sector) is supplemented by an advanced fiscal surplus, which puts Saudi Arabia in a strong position for diversification and the growth of other non-oil sectors. Vision 2030, which is the sole ultimate transformational vehicle in Saudi Arabia, is also rapidly operational and trying to rebalance the too-long oil dependence along with a diversification of revenues.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;BOOK A FREE CONSULTATION&#8221; style=&#8221;3d&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; i_type=&#8221;typicons&#8221; i_icon_typicons=&#8221;typcn typcn-chevron-right&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:%2Fen-sa%2Fcontact-us%2F&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IMPORTANCE_OF_FUNDING_AND_INVESTMENT_IN_SAUDI_ARABIA\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #039c7f;\">IMPORTANCE OF FUNDING AND INVESTMENT IN SAUDI ARABIA<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Access to funding and investments is more essential than ever for businesses in Saudi Arabia.
