Saudi Arabia has already started to make its vision into reality. Saudi Vision 2030 is the primary goal of the leaders of the Kingdom.

The Arabian government has announced an increase in the oil rates for September of the ongoing year.

So all this price hike is going to make up the deficit caused by this novel coronavirus. All this may have affected the world, but for Saudi Arabia, it has caused a big blow to their upcoming plans for Saudi Vision 2030.

ARAMCO is the Saudi Arabian Oil Company that has the second most crude oil reserves in the world. The company has reduced its fund, which was used by the company to refine oil. This will result in some shortage of petroleum products, and the retailers would be compelled to increase the price. That is how the government is going to make a profit from the oil and gas products.
