Saudi Arabia’s Post-Oil Plan Faces Cuts As Crude Plummets

Plans for a future after oil in Saudi Arabia are increasingly at the mercy of the present.

A strategy to transform the Saudi economy, championed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is likely to face deep budget cuts as the coronavirus pandemic and plummeting crude prices batter the economy, according to people familiar with the matter.

Dubbed Vision 2030, the wide-ranging initiative unveiled with fanfare in 2016 aims to diversify the oil-dependent economy and attract foreign investment.

Officials began a broad reassessment of the blueprint before the latest crises, but the Finance Ministry is now specifically looking to pare back its budgets, according to two people familiar with the matter. They said officials hadn’t yet decided how the added pressure of the oil price collapse would affect the review, but they’re expecting significant cuts.

Vision 2030 reductions would come on top of 20% in savings that the government had already asked ministries to find, one of the people said.

So far, Saudi Arabia’s announced a 5% budget cut for 2020, along with a 120 billion-riyal ($32 billion) package aimed at helping businesses survive a near-lockdown.
