How Saudi Arabia Strengths Its Economy?

Saudi Arabia has brought considerable change to the country over the past few years by developing economic and social transformation plans.

The global economy is still uncertain after the health crisis (Covid-19 pandemic). However, Saudi Arabia stands out based on its determination to accelerate its reforms and diversification by turning firmly towards the future. Indeed, during this troubled period, the country stood out through the multiplication of ambitious announcements in strategic sectors at the heart of energy transition and significant technological changes.

We have witnessed Saudi Arabia jobs for Pakistanis were easy to get during the 1980s. Over time, job opportunities gradually tended to decline. Like most other countries worldwide, the job market of KSA took a hit in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the country has brought a change and emerged as the best post-COVID economy. Now, you can find many employment opportunities in the country.

This blog will shed light on the GDP and private sector, which is the transformation engine in Saudi Arabia.

Double GDP By 2030

Saudi Arabia pledged to build a new economic development model by launching its Vision 2030 as a transformation plan in 2016. The Kingdom wants to build a more liberal and inclusive economy, creating jobs and wealth.

Mohamed Bin Salman wants to build new development poles by 2030, aiming to double its GDP. He shows his determination to radically transform the Saudi economy and society.

Riyadh wishes to become a major player in many sectors by 2030. The Vision 2030 plan aims to make the country a world leader in renewable energies and an attractive tourist destination to welcome more than 100 million visitors.

Furthermore, the country has now become an entertainment market that may exceed $ 8 billion. The use of technology enables KSA to acquire a defense industry ranked among the top 25 in the world. The country has also developed the manufacturing and mining industries.

All sectors are central to the Kingdom’s transformation strategy, from food security to smart cities, including biotechnologies and artificial intelligence. By developing large-scale logistics and airport infrastructures, Saudi Arabia also intends to take full advantage of its strategic location at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and Africa.

The Private Sector – Engine Of Transformation

The private sector is also expected to be the engine of this transformation plan. So, Saudi Arabia wants to increase its share in GDP from 40% to 60%. The country intends to attract international investors to invest in the country. The country also focuses on privatizations, and it’s good example is Aramco, the Saudi Arabian Oil Company.

Furthermore, the recent mergers of SAMBA and NCB banks, and the recent initial public offering (IPO) of the energy transition giant Acwa Power, are parts of the implementation of this strategy.

Mohamad Bin Salman also focuses on diversification by relying on technology transfer, improving the business climate. Based on the public-private partnership and the technology, the country wants to reduce barriers to investment. The country also intends to ensure the development of free zones and the new economy through strategic partnerships with the major global players. Recently, Saudi Arabia has also issued government bonds, taking advantage of the country’s low level of debt.

Final Words

Overall, all the strategies implemented yet have been successful. It is expected that the implementation of the entire plan in Saudi Arabia will lead its economy to thrive. The country has started to create smart employment opportunities based on its strategies. We hope this blog has helped you know how Saudi Arabia strengthened its economy and to what level its economy could be supportive of the Pakistani workforce.

6 Things You Need to Consider Before Leaving to Work in Saudi Arabia

Thousands of expats leave their country to work in Saudi Arabia every year, a fraction of which are from Pakistan. There are dozen of job opportunities in this Middle Eastern country, which invites those who want to explore the international market and work abroad. You can even find recruitment agencies in Pakistan for Saudi Arabia that help you find a perfect company based on your qualifications and experience.

But before you get in touch with them, here are a few things you should consider before leaving to work in Saudi Arabia.

1.    Different Languages

The national language of Saudi Arabia is Arabic and at times you will be required to talk and understand that language only. Although you can still speak in English, as it is considered a universal language and is spoken by many working professionals, it is better to learn the language. You are likely to move up the ladder quickly if you know their local language and have a better relationship with your colleagues as well.

2.    Non-Conventional Interviews

When you apply for a job that is not in your home country, you will have to prepare yourself for non-conventional interviews. This includes interviewing through video calls or phone calls. So, it is important that you practice your talking points with your prospective employer and prepare for answers to multiple interview questions. Since it is somewhat a different domain for many employees, you must make sure you are ready in every way.

3.    Different Time Zones

Even though there is not much time difference between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, it is important that you keep track. All your interviews in Saudi Arabia will be held based on their time, so you must make sure to consider the time change. Plus, before leaving for Saudi Arabia, you should try and adjust yourself to their time zone beforehand. This will make your transition to their time a lot easier.

4.    Holidays

It is quite easy to keep track and plan for holidays in Saudi Arabia when you’re going there from Pakistan. Most of the holidays and off-days observed over there are also observed in Pakistan, with the exception of a few. So, you can expect 3 days eid holidays and other Islamic off days but you won’t be able to get an off on days that are for occasions only observed in Pakistan. This includes Independence Day, Defence Day, etc. So, make sure you plan your holidays accordingly.

5.    Work Permit And Visa

To work or even seek a job in an overseas company, you may need to obtain a work permit or visa. You should also keep in mind the time limits on your work permit in case it does not survive the term of your job. Similarly in Saudi Arabia, you will need a work visa. You can easily apply for a visa through agencies that are accredited to the Royal Embassy Of Saudi Arabia.

Some companies in Saudi Arabia take responsibility for your visa application. They pay for it and make sure it goes through. However, you will have to ensure that your passport has at least 6 months of validity left from the day you enter the country.   

6.    Economy, Politics, And Culture

When you choose to work in Saudi Arabia, you must make yourself familiar with their culture, customs, and etiquette. Since Saudi Arabia is an Islamic and very conservative country, you must ensure that you make yourself accustomed to their rules and regulations along with societal norms. The more you adapt to the country, the better your experience will be. Plus, make sure you learn about the country’s economy and politics before taking the interview, as it may come up.

Once you have considered everything, you can contact Saudi Arabia recruitment agencies in Pakistan to take a step forward. At Islamic Manpower, we can help you find a multitude of opportunities that are just perfect for your experience and qualifications. So, get in touch with us now!

How to Find a Job in Saudi Arabia?

Many Pakistanis are interested in seeking employment in Saudi Arabia. There are many reasons why they want so. The pay is better; the lifestyle is better, the chances of growth and promotions are better. And for those who are religious can have the perfect opportunity to become better Muslims. 

The benefits are many, but the question remains, how can someone hunt for jobs in Saudi Arabia?

This article shall help make things easy for those who are wishful of getting a job there. We shall tell you a few ways that can possibly help you secure a job in Saudi Arabia. Without further ado, let’s jump right into it:

Go to the Place

The one and probably the easiest way to get a job is to go to Saudi Arabia. You can go there for a couple of months and drop your CV at the companies that are looking for a talent like you. Many people have successfully gotten jobs this way.

The downside to this method is that it can be costly. Not everyone can afford to go by this method. Even if someone tries their hands with this method, it can easily cost them above a million PKR. That’s a lot of money, and that’s the reason why this method is fast losing popularity.

Contact a Relative, Friend, or Acquaintance in Saudi

Saudi Arabia is a hotspot for Pakistani employees. Many of our locals have decent-paying jobs there and are settled for several years. 

If you know someone there, then the process can get easy if you just ask for their assistance. A lot of Pakistanis secure jobs this way. In fact, many of the ex-pats call their relatives or family members when a suitable position opens up for them.

However, the downside to this method is that it can be limiting in many ways. Firstly, the person you know should be willing to assist. Second, they may be busy with the work and can’t offer help even if they are willing to. 

And third, they’d have limited exposure because, at best, they can know about job opportunities in their company or in the area. 

Sign up on a Recruitment Portal

There are several recruitment portals where you can upload your profile with the intent of searching for a job in Saudi Arabia. What these portals do is that they help the Saudi companies hunt the right employees for them.

That way, when something relevant to you comes up, you shall instantly be notified. The benefit of working with a recruitment agency in Pakistan for Saudi Arabia, just like, Islamic Manpower Promoters, is that they can help you with the processes. 

When you apply for jobs on your own, you can easily be left itching your head out of confusion. But with IMP, you’ll be assisted at each step. 

Look Out for Online Options

Another option for you to get a job in Saudi is to search it up online. You may seek jobs on Facebook, Instagram, or even Google. However, again the problem with this method remains that it may get confusing, and it can be a lot of hassle. However, if you can manage all that, then this can be an effective way of getting a job in Saudi as well.

Final Words

Selecting the right recruitment portal or agency can easily be the most efficient method out of everything that’s mentioned above. While it is encouraged that you try on your own as well, parting up with the recruitment agencies in Saudi Arabia can improve your chances of success significantly.

How to Adjust to Your New Job in Saudi Arabia Fast?

Getting a job outside of Pakistan can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Many people who get such an opportunity can vouch for the fact that their lifestyle becomes better, the pays are higher, and there’s an overall sense of achievement in working abroad.

However, there can be some challenges as well. A common one is an initial adjustment. No matter how lucrative an offer someone gets, settling down can be a little tricky. But with the right direction, the process can become easy.

In this article, we shall tell you some tips to help you seep into the new environment smoothly. Here’s how you can do it:

Do Some Research 

The best way to adjust quickly is to get prepared beforehand. Even before you travel, you must have a fair idea of what to expect. 

There are a few ways to do that effectively. The first one and the easiest one is Google. Go to the search bar and put in your relevant queries, and you’ll be laden up with a plethora of right answers for you. However, just take an idea from those responses and don’t just think that everything that you read shall exactly happen to you.

The other best way is to ask somebody who’s already working there. Someone with first-hand experience can guide you the best. Even better than Google at times because not everything on the internet is true.

If you are going via some Saudi Arabia recruitment agency in Pakistan like Islamic Manpower Promoters, then you’ll surely receive help from them.

Manage your Expectations

Make sure that you have controlled expectations with the new place. If you have set up some unrealistically high expectations in your mind, then settling in can become quite difficult. 

It is okay to read experiences and make up your mind about the possibilities but remember, everyone who travels abroad has a different experience.

Make Friends Quick

Once you have reached the new place, you must start making friends and acquaintances quickly. This way, getting adapted to the new situation will become easy. 

A lot of people don’t gel in easily at the new place. They may have anxieties or other concerns which can keep them from totally accepting the place. Gradually the issue does get resolved to a large degree, but it is best if it gets addressed and resolved at the earliest. 

Making friends will also help you understand the new place fast. Remember, you’ll have to be open because once you are out of Pakistan, you shall see and meet people from all across the world. 

Stay in Touch with the Family

A lot of the difficulty at the new place arises because of the newness. Since everything is new, feelings of uncertainty arise. Many people who take up jobs in Saudi Arabia leave Pakistan for the first time. Mind you, the world out there is completely different.

Staying in touch with family members can produce feelings of certainty in you. It can really keep you pegged and grounded and help you adjust quickly. 

Final Words

Moving out can be a little tricky. Especially if you are someone that’s not very open to new situations. However, when you consider the upside that the jobs in Saudi Arabia offer, you can easily see that it is all worth it.

Plus, if you process the application via some recruitment agency for Saudi Arabia in Pakistan, for example, IMP, you’ll have the right help for you. Such organizations ensure that the resources settle down easily and quickly.
