RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh ranks first among GCC cities in Human Capital, according to the Global Cities Index 2021 report by Kearney.
The report measures global engagement of 156 cities across five dimensions, namely business activity, human capital, information exchange, cultural experience, and political engagement.
It attributed the results to the Kingdom’s increased emphasis and ongoing efforts in creating a more diverse and sustainable economy, in support of the realization of Vision 2030.
“In the past five years since the launch of the Kingdom’s vision, Saudi Arabia has created immense opportunities and an attractive business environment to ensure the country’s competitiveness not just in the region but on a global stage,” Kearney’s government practice leader, Antoine Nasr, said.
“Saudi Arabia is poised to drive regional, post-pandemic recovery supported by accelerated efforts of its government across the five dimensions of the report,” he added.
