The Council of Economic and Development Affairs, in a meeting held today, reviewed the Ministry of Economy and Planning’s monthly report, which highlighted the high level of resilience of the Saudi economy and the logistics sector’s ability to adapt to global developments.
The report reviewed the positive impact of the Kingdom’s various policy measures on economic growth, including keeping the inflation rate among the lowest globally and achieving a trade surplus driven by export growth, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
The council also reviewed the quarterly presentation submitted by the National Center for Performance Measurement (Adaa), which covered the performance of government entities during the first quarter of 2026, the performance of government entities’ indicators and initiatives under Saudi Vision 2030, the center’s work in activating the measurement of national strategies, monitoring the contribution of government entities to national strategies, and the various mechanisms supporting improvements in government performance practices.
The results showed an improvement in the proportion of government initiatives that are on track or completed in achieving their targets compared with the fourth quarter of 2025, while efforts continue to support government entities, address challenges, and monitor corrective action plans to further enhance government performance.
The council also reviewed the quarterly report prepared by the Digital Government Authority on the performance of government entities in the United Nations E-Government Development Index (EGDI), the periodic report on the achievements of the National Framework Committee for the Governance, Risk Management, Compliance, and Internal Audit Functions, as well as the monthly executive summary of foreign trade and the underlying reports on which the summary was based.
