Saudi Arabia: MBS Visit Reinforces The Thesis' Attractiveness

Recommend buying Saudi-focused ETFs like iShares MSCI Saudi Arabia and Franklin FTSE Saudi Arabia to capitalize on economic diversification. KSA and FLSA offer exposure to sectors beyond oil, including financials, technology, and infrastructure, with FLSA having a lower expense ratio. Saudi Arabia's Vision2030 plan drives rapid non-oil sector growth, supported by large-scale projects and increased foreign investment.

Saudi's prospects are still heavily reliant on oil, and conditions here don't look too alluring.
