Starting July 27, 2025, Saudi Arabia increases Saudization rates in pharmacy, dentistry, and technical engineering to align with Vision 2030. New quotas require private-sector establishments to meet specific Saudization percentages and salary thresholds. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development supports the reform with incentives and guidance to boost national workforce participation. The initiative aims to accelerate Saudi employment, support Vision 2030 goals, and incentivize compliance through penalties for non-adherence while providing transition support. Updated Saudization quotas apply to different sectors with specific percentage requirements and minimum salary thresholds. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has issued procedural guides to assist employers in meeting these targets.
