In episode 6 this week, the hosts discuss an Australian company that is making a big bet on electric vehicles in Saudi Arabia with a massive mining investment, the use of power in Saudi Arabia flattens out, and the Kingdom explores the possibility of economic free zones to attract foreign investment in Saudi.
Episodes are available on the show’s website, 966.transistor.fm, and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and several other platforms.
The 966 is an effort to go beyond the headlines and tackle the complex economic, social and political issues – why they matter to and within Saudi Arabia, how they impact U.S. interests in the region and what they mean for the U.S.-Saudi relationship.
Don’t miss The 966 interview published this week with the IMF’s Abdullah Hassan about his time serving as Sous-Sherpa and Executive Director of Policy during the Saudi G20 Presidency.
What was it like to host the G20 in Saudi Arabia, and what was left behind? What effect did the onset of the global pandemic have for organizers, and how did they adapt to meet the challenge?
Abdullah discusses this and more in the interview with The 966, available via YouTube and below as a podcast.
