Saudi Oil PolicyThe Mindset Within The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia
Viewed in this perspective, it can be argued the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had to re-establish strategic relationships with Asian and American refiners to ensure long-term offtake contracts for its crude. Otherwise, its role will increasingly be that of a global on-off switch, something its long-lived reserves are not well suited for, and which subjects it to higher volatility in its revenue stream.

ManufacturingManufacturing in Saudi Arabia: Making it in the desert kingdom
The country is not starting from scratch. It is already strong in plastics and petrochemicals.

Several large aluminium producers have already set up shop, including Alcoa of America, since Saudi Arabia has the two ingredients needed to produce the metal: bauxite ore and cheap electricity. Some fairly big Saudi food manufacturers already export around the region, such as Almarai, which produces milk and baby formula among other things, and Savola, whose mainstay is edible oils.

You can drive for hundreds of miles in any direction without a fence or obstruction of any kind. At any time you can stop, turn off your engine and step out into a silence that has always been there.
