Allow us to tell you a little bit about ourselves. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a planning tradition that spans over 30 years. The formal planning process, which started in 1970 (1390 Hijra), enabled the Saudi Government to make prudent decisions in the allocation and utilization of its resources for development. During the last three decades, the Kingdom underwent tremendous transformation under the six development plans, which saw the rapid growth of income and living standards of the people, accompanied by dramatic improvements in social and physical infrastructure.
While we may not be providing direct services to the citizens, we ensure that all government agencies work in a coordinated manner to achieve the priorities of our policy makers. Towards this end, we do the following:
* Prepare a periodic economic report on the Kingdom, featuring analysis of the economy, progress made and likely developments.
* Prepare the five years development plans.
* Estimate the magnitude of financial resources required for the implementation of the development plans approved by the Council of Ministers. These estimates from the basis for preparing the general state budget. In order to ensure consistency between the requirements of the general development plans and the available financial resources, Ministry of Planning maintains continuous contact with the Ministry of Finance and National Economy, for consultation and exchange of information.
* Conduct economic studies where required and submit the findings.
* Collect, analyze and publish statistical data in economic, social and demographic fields; carry out various statistical research required since the central department of statistics (CDS) Is the sole source of statistical data in the Kingdom.
* Assist other government agencies in planning and statistical matters.
* Furnish technical advice as mandated by His Majesty the King and prepare and supervise implementation of the general population and houses census in the Kingdom.
* Compile and analyse the statistical data received from other government agencies to utilize such data in the production of various statistical bulletins.
