Davos in the Desert
In the heart of the Saudi Arabian desert, amid the majestic dunes and relentless sun, Riyadh stood as a modern oasis. It was a testament to the remarkable transformation that had swept through the country in recent years, thanks to the vision and leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, or MBS. He is widely credited with raising the country’s profile to one that is an integral part of the global stage, and his efforts are bearing fruit on the world’s stage of high finance.
