Consequently, the government is taking help from foreign countries to build residential buildings in the country.

Under this program, it plans to increase the revenue of non-oil sectors from SAR163.5 billion (US$43.6 billion) in 2016 to SAR530.0 billion (US$141.0 billion) by 2020, while increasing non-oil products' export value from SAR185.0 billion (US$49.3 billion) to SAR330.0 billion (US$88.0 billion).

- The government plans to increase the productivity and efficiency of the country's aviation industry. Accordingly, it is focusing on the expansion of airports under the public-private partnership (PPP) and build, operate and transfer (BOT) models, with an aim to handle 100 million air passengers by 2020.

- The government is focusing on the development of renewable energy infrastructure with an aim to reduce their dependency on natural oil and gas. Under the National Renewable Energy Program, the government plans to install 54.0GW of new renewable energy power plants across the region, with an investment of SAR408.8 billion (US$109.0 billion) by 2040.

- The government's commitment to pursuing quality development and increasing expenditure on educational infrastructure is expected to support the institutional construction market over the forecast period. Under the school construction project of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Saudi Arabian government plans to build 44,411 new schools across the country by 2020.
