Did You Know Saudi Arabia Is Quietly Heading Toward a Financial Crisis?

Did you know one of the richest countries on Earth might be heading toward a financial crisis?

Saudi Arabia controls over 15% of the world’s oil, and oil funds nearly 80% of its government revenue.
But when oil prices fall, the entire system starts to shake.

To escape this trap, Saudi Arabia tried diversifying its economy—from farming wheat in the desert to launching Vision 2030, a plan meant to end oil dependence forever.

That’s where mega-projects like NEOM, desert ski resorts, and trillion-dollar futuristic cities came in.

But reality hit hard.

• NEOM was cut from 150 km to just 2.4 km
• Project costs crossed $1.5 trillion
• Saudi reserves dropped from $750B to nearly $400B
• Borrowing costs are rising
• Default risk insurance is spiking

The problem?
Saudi Arabia doesn’t yet have a diversified economy like the US or Europe to fall back on.

So what happens if oil prices stay low?

That’s the hidden risk no one is talking about.

📌 Watch till the end to understand why Saudi Arabia’s future is more fragile than it looks.
