While Saudi Arabias economy is currently suffering from an 18-month decline in oil prices and soaring unemployment rates, they are planning for a future in which they wont have to worry about the price of oil at all. Speaking of the plans outlined in Vision 2030, Saudi finance minister Mohammed Al Jadaan told CNN, "We will not really care much whether the price is 40, 45, 50, 55 at that time because we have gone significantly out of our way to be independent of the oil price...We are planning to totally [end] that dependency that we have been living for the last 40, 50 years. Hopefully by 2030, I wouldn't care if the oil price is zero."

The dog that didn’t bark during President Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia, and during the conference of muslim nations, is that not a word was said about oil.
Starve the Saudi Beast, I don't care if we have to start all our cars and leave them running on FREE saudi Gas to bankrupt them.
They want to move with the modern world - expect more Westernization.
He says that NOW.
Wait until the subjects start an uprising. He’ll care.
“They want to move with the modern world - expect more Westernization.”
If they want to move into the modern world they will have to forgo Islam ... don’t expect anything more than more terror, more death, more taqyyia ...
[[Saudi Finance Minister: I Wouldn’t Care If The Oil Price Is Zero”]]
Put your money where you mouth is- make gasoline and oil free for all (while paying your oil riggers enough to keep them producing oil)- We’ll hold our breath till you do
Obviously he has discovered the perpetual motion machine and just has it under wraps for now.
Once the Saudis are fully established inside the Western world, they should become great assets in fighting Islamic terrorism.
The Saudi government (kingdom) has morphed into the value-added refining business.
The commodity “oil” can be sourced anywhere.
Follow the money.
Hmmm, Could it be that by 2030, the Saudi financed Muslim invasion of Europe will be completed, Non-Muslim Europeans will be paying Dhimmitude to their Muslim owners, and the Muslim invaders (Jihadists) will be able to repay the Saudis with interest?
Lessons learned...never trust mussie scum.
By 2030 the water cut from the Ghawar field will render moot SA as a major oil exporter?
They are going broke because oil isn’t $100 a barrel and the frackers in the USA are strangling them and the Russians. Piss on the Saudi’s they screwed us over for 40 yrs. no sympathy here for any of these douche bags.
“They want to move with the modern world - expect more Westernization.”
Well there is a new king. So maybe there will be some changes.
Granted it won't be an overnight deal, but Saudi will move in our direction.
Yep - I saw some interviews (one with a guy in his 40's/50's, and one with one of the young Princes that will have more sway once the aged king is gone. Seemed very promising.
LOL! I never expressed sympathy - just noted, from interviews I watched with a couple in the power chain as the old king fades away, that seemed promising as far as their move towards becoming part of the modern world as a country. If it happens, they will slowly transform from a scorpion biding its time to a potential asset.
I saw some interviews with a young Prince and another, older guy (his wife attended college in the USA) and it seemed very promising.
If he's smart, if that happens, he'll exterminate the devout and go with the flow of modernity (21st century vs 7th).
