Census Results: Saudi Arabia Population 32.2 Million, 42% Foreign Residents​

News from Tempo.co • 1 hour ago

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Saudi Arabia's population has reached 32.2 million, 42% of whom are foreign nationals with 63% of Saudis under the age of 30, the country's general authority for statistics said Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

The median age of the total population is 29 years, according to the 2022 census, the first in 12 years, it added in a statement.

Economy and Planning Minister Faisal Al-Ibrahim told a news conference in Riyadh that the latest census was the most comprehensive and accurate census in the kingdom's history.

"The result will be a key pillar for planning and decision-making... and support the investment environment in the kingdom," Al-Ibrahim said.

Saudi Arabia's huge young population highlights the challenges Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) faces in his plan to diversify the economy away from oil and create jobs for more than 10 million Saudi nationals.

Prince Mohammed has poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the mammoth transformation plan, known as Vision 2030, which includes building local industries and opening the kingdom to tourism and business.

Annual population growth since 2010 has averaged 2.5%, the latest census data shows, with the total population jumping 34.2% since that year.

Foreign residents fell from a peak of 14.6 million in 2016 after the government began charging extra fees to relatives of foreign workers. In 2020, more than 1 million foreigners left the kingdom during the Covid-19 crisis.

However, Riyadh has also eased restrictions on foreign worker contracts, including a disputed seven-decade-old sponsorship system in hopes of attracting more talent to boost its economic diversification.

Human rights groups, including Amnesty International, have called on Saudi authorities and other governments in the Gulf to protect foreign workers from abuses such as violent treatment and deportation.

The IMF said the Saudi economy grew 8.7% in 2022 but projected Saudi GDP growth to shrink by more than half to 3.1% this year.

Imagine the economic opportunity if they formed an EU like organisation. People used to say this was impossible with Saudi and Iran. I think in 10 years time Saudi and Iran will have very close ties.
