Q: Your Royal Highness, the Vision 2030, as it was launched, last year, has unleashed two programs for the national transformation and fiscal off-set, however, on last Sunday, a package of other 10 related programs have been launched. How come that the begining has included only two programs, while we see now 10 programs, being set forth, together? A: Following a period of 10-month of launching the vision, in last Ramadan, I have started the Vision Governance, in which I pointed out that carrying out the vision will be done through the vision's related programs. These programs included three phases: the 1st is up to 2020, the 2nd is up to 2025 and the last 3rd is up to 2030. These are executive programs with clear cut agenda as well as techniques, in order to realize the vision. What has been launched last Sunday, was the remainder of the vision that goes up to 2020, as it will be divided over the remaining of 2017 and the years, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. However, to secure implementing these programs, we launched the two programs: the National Transformation and the Fiscal Off-set 2020, as we were running against time, fearing that we might be lagged behind, on one hand, and willing to carry out the tasks, in a highly professional way, on the other. Hence a decision was made, at the time, that any completed program, shall be, immediately, launched, and the remainder will follow suit . What we have seen, in last Sunday, was that we have pinpointed 10 programs related to the pahse 2020, in order that government and other pertinent bodies will embark, on these programs, through their respective councils, each chaired by a member of the CEDA, to set for preparation, in the next coming 10-month prior to launching them, in the next following six-month. -- More 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w391515
