The meeting, Shraideh said, is part of a series of

institutions, and experts from various sectors to inform them of the draft
executive program for the vision before submitting it to the Council of
Ministers in preparation for its approval and implementation.
He pointed out that the government formed four ministerial
committees and 22 sectoral teams to design and develop the executive program
for the vision last August, indicating that the program was aligned with the
matrix of economic reforms and sustainable development goals.
He stressed that the Planning Ministry, in cooperation with
ministerial committees and sectoral teams, developed a draft of the executive
program for the vision for the first phase, for the years 2023–2025, pointing
out that this draft is a living document that is subject to annual review and
evaluation, in accordance with developments and the government’s economic
priorities.
He and Toukan presented the most prominent features of the
draft program, which includes 147 initiatives out of 366 mentioned in the
vision, which was chosen according to the availability of necessary funding in
the general budget and external grants, and their connection to the
government’s current economic priorities, in order to support recovery from the
pandemic, promote economic growth and create job opportunities.
The aim is to promote and attract local and foreign
investments, as well as enhance partnerships with the private sector.
These initiatives, which include projects, policies, and
procedures, have a time frame for implementation, measurement tools, and an
electronic system for tracking performance.

unleashing the full economic potential that generates employment and job
opportunities, and will be implemented in three phases over a period of 10
years.
