RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s digital transformation has skyrocketed in recent years with the Kingdom digitalizing more than 6,000 government services, representing 97 percent of total government services. According to the National Transformation Program’s 2022 report, the Kingdom was ranked first regionally and third globally in the World Bank"s GovTech Maturity Index 2022. The Kingdom has made significant strides in international placements after it secured the 31st rank in the UN e-Government Development Index in 2022. A couple of the critical achievements from NTP in 2022 are the launch of the strategic directions for the digital government and the licensing of 15 digital platforms. The program’s initiatives have been instrumental in advancing the Kingdom’s communications infrastructure, increasing mobile internet speed to 181.24 megabits per second and fixed internet speed reaching 109.83 Mbps. The NTP is responsible for almost 35 percent of Vision 2030 objectives with 253 initiatives and over 50 contributing entities.
