Saudi prince uses ‘Davos in the desert’ to woo world’s top investors:
"Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman beamed as he swept through a 3,000-strong crowd of politicians and the world’s most powerful financiers like a rock star.
At each turn, he was stopped for a handshake, a quiet word or selfies as people clamoured for their moment with the Saudi heir-apparent at a conference this week in Riyadh, dubbed by some as “Davos in the desert”.
The gathering was viewed as Saudi Arabia’s coming-out party, with the charismatic royal seeking to woo bankers and investors with his grandiose vision to overhaul the oil-dependent economy and modernise the conservative kingdom. And the 32-year-old did not hold back when outlining the scale of his ambitions."
