The platform would give an overview of the performance of Saudi Arabia based on more than 250 international measurement indices, through 12 measurement axes, and would also represent a reference for international classifications. The aim was to achieve comprehensive stability in a positive way, and help decision-makers come to the right choices based on performance reports.
