Vision 2030 is also seeing more changes

The plans for Neom are part of the much broader state project, dubbed Saudi Vision 2030, which is a master plan for the modernization and future-looking development of the Kingdom. However, it was recently reported that Saudi officials are concerned about the sheer costs of the Vision 2030 project. Earlier this month, Business Insider wrote that the costs of MBS’s vision “were starting to cause alarm at the highest level of the country’s government.” It seems likely, then, that broader changes to the Crown Prince’s agenda—not just those related to The Line—may have to be made in the coming years.
