Both parties will promote closer cooperation on economic research, capacity building, events and reports to share knowledge and advance joint goals on growth, diversification and the realization of Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.
Assistant Minister of Economy and Planning Suliman Alobaid signed the agreement with Chair of the Board of the Saudi Economic Association Dr. Nourah Alyousef.
The MoU is part of the ministry’s efforts to support the non-profit organizations, and reinforce their role in boosting the Kingdom's economy.
A wide range of events such as meetings, lectures, seminars and workshops will be organized in this regard. Training courses on economic research, analysis, monetary policy, planning and writing will also be held.
The agreement will strengthen economic cooperation, enhance monetary policymaking, and provide a new platform to welcome global speakers and experts to participate in conferences and events locally, regionally and internationally.
