The impact of manufacturing industries on sustainable development in Saudi Arabia

Abstract EN

The manufacturing industries sector is extremely important, especially for oil countries, aiming at protecting their economy from the imbalances resulting from sharp fluctuations in oil prices and achieving economic stability.

Therefore, the purpose of the study was to identify the experience of Saudi Arabia in developing the manufacturing sector, as well as trying to build a standard model of the impact of manufacturing industries on sustainable development.

To achieve that purpose, we initially shed light on the manufacturing industries sector indicators, such as value added, exports, capital accumulation and employment in the sector.

Through the study, we reached a noticeable trend in the Saudi Arabia towards achieving economic diversification by developing the manufacturing sector.

We also reached, through the standard model, the positive impact of the manufacturing industries on sustainable development in the country.
