中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网报道，沙特阿拉伯王国外交大臣费萨尔在今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛峰会上表示，由于其雄心勃勃的2030年愿景改革方案，沙特阿拉伯将成为今年全球增长最快的经济体。
这位沙特高官指出，改革方案旨在解决欧佩克最大石油生产国面临的所有问题，其中包括减少其对石油作为预算收入来源的依赖。
费萨尔在讲话中指出，沙特阿拉伯的失业率已下降，劳动力市场已向更多女性开放。
沙特阿拉伯“2030愿景改革方案”设想将沙特阿拉伯转变为可再生能源大国和Neom智能城市——改革王冠上的一颗明珠——预计将耗资5000亿美元。
然而，这一转型将由石油收入提供资金，因此沙特阿拉伯一直忙于将其最丰富的大宗商品出口的收入最大化。
由于去年大部分时间油价都在上涨，沙特阿拉伯经济在去年是一个不错的一年，这帮助其经济实现了强劲增长，尤其是在第三季度，GDP同比增长8.8%。
由于其石油工业的强劲表现，沙特阿拉伯预计今年将出现预算盈余，尽管比去年要小得多，仅占GDP的0.4%。
2022年12月宣布的今年预算总额约为2960亿美元或1.114万亿里亚尔。支出适度减少，今年的预算收入预期也有所下降。
阿布扎比商业银行首席经济学家对路透社表示：“(适度削减支出)对经济的影响预计有限，尤其是在沙特主权财富基金（PIF）推动大部分投资活动的情况下。”

The official noted that the reform program aims to address all issues facing the economy of OPEC’s biggest oil producer and, among other things, reduce its dependence>During his speech, he noted a decline in Saudi unemployment and the opening up of the labor market to more women.
Vision 2030, envisages the transformation of Saudi Arabia into a renewable energy power and home of the Neom smart city—the jewel in the reform crown—that will cost an estimated $500 billion.
This transformation, however, will be financed with oil money so Saudi Arabia has been busy maximizing its revenues from the export of its most abundant commodity.
Last year was a good>Thanks to the stronger performance of its oil industry, Saudi Arabia has forecast a budget surplus for this year, albeit a lot smaller than last year’s, at just 0.4 percent of GDP.
The budget for this year, announced in December 2022, totals some $296 billion, or 1.114 trillion riyals. Spending was reduced moderately and so were forecasts for budget revenues this year.
"The economic impact (of a moderate reduction in spending) is expected to be limited, especially with the PIF driving much of the investment activity," the chief economist of Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank told Reuters.
