Analysis: A non-specific Saudi statement of intent | The National:
"The IMF has given Saudi Arabia’s reforms its seal of approval – while admitting that it doesn’t quite know exactly what they are.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s objectives are “bold and far-reaching". But we must await the “supporting policies [that will] set out how these goals will be achieved", the IMF says.
Mohammed Alyahya, a consultant and researcher at a Saudi think tank, writing in the Financial Times, argues that nit-picking through the specifics misses the point. “Visions are, by their very nature, idealistic and ambitious", he writes, while what is “more important even than the detail of this vision is the team behind it", a rare illustration of meritocracy in the gerontocratic state.
