Abstract: Abstract The kingdom of Saudi Arabia now stands at a crossroads of economic development. 1400 witnessed the completion of the second five-year period of development planning and the implementation of the Third Development Plan (1400–5). In marked contrast to most other developing nations, and as a result of the oil price rises from 1393 onwards, there has been no shortage of finance to promote economic activity; but finance alone cannot guarantee progress and problems have been encountered in converting financial into productive, physical resources, particularly problems associated with inflation and manpower shortages.
