Africa is becoming an increasingly sought-after partner by members of the growing BRICS+ alliance of countries. Relatively new to the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa club is Saudi Arabia, a country whose crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, is intent on unlocking growth beyond traditional revenues.
"Saudi economic interests in Africa are rooted in import diversification, port access, and food security," says Dr Glen Segell of the NATO-EU Strategy Group, University of Cambridge. "Covid pandemic-era inflation pushed Saudi to look to African countries for grains and other staples. Drops in oil prices have also led them to diversify in other sectors, such as critical minerals. Recruitment of African workers has also risen. Over the last two decades, migrants in the GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] countries make up as much as 90 percent of the labor force, with Africans making up the bulk of it." At the heart of Saudi Arabia's engagement with Africa is the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which aims to reduce Riyadh's dependence on oil and diversify its economy. The continent offers an abundance of opportunities in sectors like technology, tourism, and renewable energy.
