This week, it emerged that Riyadh is working on NTP 2.0, a revised version of the programme that re-phases some of the objectives of the original plan, postponing some of the implementation deadlines and removing other elements of the plan.
Details of the revised NTP are yet to be revealed, but the rescheduling of the plan is aimed at introducing more realistic objectives for the government as it seeks to deliver the most wide-ranging economic reform programme ever seen in the region.
But NTP 2.0 introduces yet more uncertainty for businesses and investors in the kingdom, who are already struggling with the impact of Riyadhs tough fiscal consolidation agenda.
