- RIYADH: Riyadh Economic Forum, in its fifth session from Dec.
- 17-19, will monitor five major studies of main concern to the national economy.
Studies on inter-city transportation, vocational education and training and its suitability to the development demands of manpower, evaluation of investment in the Kingdom, food security, and a balanced economic development in the Kingdom will be monitored as basis on which the forum will rely to find solutions.
For two years, according to Saad Al-Moujil, chairman of the board of trustees of Riyadh Economic Forum, the forum had made intellectual and financial efforts to prepare recommendations on the previous studies and present them to the concerned bodies.
The forum, Al-Moujil said, will not be exclusive to presenting studies but will include new activities such as organizing symposiums to discuss the economic roles of some sectors.
“The forum’s success in presenting a large number of studies, recommendations and regulations has contributed to its status as an important research forum,” said Al-Moujil.
He indicated that this had a bearing on its achievements and in recognizing its recommendations by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah who directed them to the Higher Economic Council for further discussion and possible implementation.
