As a result, the Kingdom has become home to one of the most liberalized telecoms markets within the SAMENA region. Newest developments in the Saudi market with respect to making more spectrum available to telecom operators further, and more vividly, show that the Middle East’s largest economy has also taken lead on making 5G a priority. According to the CITC, in a presentation given at a December ITU Workshop in Riyadh, the amount of spectrum available can indeed make a big difference to data rates on mobile. For example, from September 2017 September 2018, average download speeds in Saudi Arabia increased from 9.3 Mbps to 26.3 Mbps. This almost tripling of the data speeds for consumers appears to have a lot to do with the three spectrum awards that have happened in the Kingdom since June 2017. Saudi Arabia, over the recent years, has demonstrated a strong will to leverage ICTs to facilitate broader sustainable economic growth. Newest developments in the Saudi Substantial evidence shows that the Saudi government, through the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (MCIT) market with respect to making more and the Communication & Information Technology Commission spectrum available to telecom operators (CITC), along with Saudi Telecom Company at the forefront of further, and more vividly, show that the communications infrastructure development in the Kingdom, have done much to make connectivity ubiquitous; to raise efficiency Middle East’s largest economy has also levels of services’ infrastructure, welcome new competition, and taken lead on making 5G a priority. 5 JANUARY 2019 FEATURED SAMENA TRENDS Without an iota of doubt, massive increase any standards, this is a very quick turn The importance of spectrum availability in the amount of harmonised spectrum around in spectrum allocation practices cannot be overstated anywhere, much less made available by the CITC to the local and is having its effect on the Saudi in Saudi Arabia.

Prior to Cornell, Ali received a Master’s of Construction Management from NC A&T State University.

Upon completion of the Baker Program, Ali intends to pursue a career in international real estate and development, with a focus on sustainability, concentrating in the markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council. 98 INTRODUCTION Over the last few years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has pursued a more aggressive approach towards economic diversification in order to plan for the future of its youth as nearly 60 percent of the country’s 3 million citizens are under the age of 30 (KSA-General Authority for Statics, 2017). Saudi Arabia traditionally has relied heavily on the public sector to absorb many of the educated Saudi nationals. However, the country is now looking to the private sector to create more jobs for its burgeoning population and has enacted policies that ease doing business in the country and make it more accessible to the outside world. Considered one of the world’s most insular nations, Saudi restructuring, focusing on projects that support the country’s Arabia is now investing billions of dollars to become more Vision 2030 plans as well as making major investments open under its Vision 2030 reform program.

    2018 DIVERSIFYING THE SAUDI ARABIAN ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND ITS EFFECT ON THE RENTIER STATE MAGNUS BIGUM GYLDENKÆRNE COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL MSC. THESIS – INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND POLITICS STU: 141.406 Magnus Bigum Gyldenkærne MSc. IBP Thesis Hand-in: 15 January 2018 Abstract This thesis concerns the future diversification of the Saudi electricity supply. Volatile global fossil fuel markets and increasing domestic demand for electricity have made the costs of a continued reliance on fossil fuels for near 100% of electricity production economically unsustainable. Applying Schoemaker’s model for Scenario Development, key issues, stakeholders, trends and uncertainties are identified and assessed. Economic factors include the price development in fuel production, assessed by the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), global fossil fuel fluctuations, electricity demand and subsidies. Political factors include the stability of government, demographics, employment and the presence of religious, conservative values and norms. Political factors are analyzed by applying Rentier State theory, as well as theories on the legitimacy of Middle Eastern regimes. Five artificial scenarios for year 2030 are formulated and assessed, and the correlation between the diversifications of the electricity supply and the overall Saudi economy is also analyzed. The findings show that the most uncertain factors affecting the diversification of the Saudi electricity supply are the global fossil fuel prices and the resolve of the Saudi government and population
