“As you know, women now are working and their integration in the workforce is happening in a very good way. This will have a major impact on household income… Saudi Arabia used to have a relatively modest household income because you had just one bread-earner with large families. With better gender equality, we will see the Saudi economy develop and consumption contributing a much higher share of GDP.”
