Salem: Continuous Efforts to Boost Sustainable Development
The city of Salem, located in Saudi Arabia’s Hail region, is witnessing notable advancements in sustainable development as part of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 aimed at diversifying the economy and improving quality of life.
During his recent visit to the city, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad bin Abdulaziz, Governor of Hail region, stated: “We attach great importance to developing Salem as a model for sustainable development, with focus on infrastructure investment and strengthening promising economic sectors.”
According to recent statistics from the General Authority for Statistics, the city has seen significant growth across multiple economic indicators in recent years. Salem’s GDP increased by 8.5% in 2022 compared to the previous year, while private sector employment rose by 12% during the same period.
The Ministry of Investment indicated that Salem recorded 45 new investment projects last year, with a total value of 1.2 billion SAR. These projects concentrated in industry, logistics, and tourism sectors.
The development journey began in earnest in 2019 with the launch of a comprehensive city development plan funded with over 5 billion SAR. Since then, the city has implemented numerous vital projects, including establishing an integrated industrial zone, expanding main road networks, and developing public facilities.
Concluding his inspection tour, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad emphasized the importance of continuing these efforts, stating: “We will work with full capacity to establish Salem as a pioneering city in sustainable development, contributing to the aspirations of our wise leadership and serving our citizens.”
