Saudi Economy Assignment 2
(The GDP, GDP PER CAPITA, GDP ANNUAL GROWTH RATE, GDP CONSTANT PRICES and GDP GROWTH RATE in Saudi Arabia)

Dr. Abdullah Shams El - Deen

Introduction:
Saudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. It possesses about 17% of the world 's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of the private sector in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation, telecommunications, natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Over 5 million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly focused on employing its large youth population, which generally lacks the education and technical skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has substantially boosted spending on job training and education, most recently with the opening of the King Abdallah University of Science and Technology - Saudi Arabia 's first co-educational university. As part of its effort to attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia acceded to the WTO in 2005. The government has begun establishing six "economic cities" in different regions of the country to promote foreign investment and plans to spend $373 billion between 2010 and 2014 on social development and infrastructure projects to advance Saudi Arabia ' 's economic development.

    The two different companies I will be looking at are Tesco and The British Heart Foundation. Tesco is an organisation which produces profit by selling goods to the general public, they usually sell food but now they are gradually bringing in other products, for example home décor and clothing. Tesco has different brands within the brand itself, for example they have Tesco’s Finest, Best of British, Cocopia etc; these different brands are what makes Tesco different. They sell products of their own brand and other brands within their store, selling their own brands help create more profit from them as they keep it within the business.…
