Category: Saudi Arabia

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) announced on Monday that it has implemented Saudization of sales outlets in 7 economic activities, and has begun the first phase of the periodic technical examination of vehicles in all regions of the Kingdom.

The Saudization of sales outlets applies to the following industries:

. Elevators, stairs, and belts
. Artificial turfs and swimming pools
. Water purification equipment and navigation devices
. Catering equipment
. Electric vehicles
. Pneumatic weapons, hunting, and trip supplies
. Packaging equipment and tools

The decision requires that 70% of the employees in these sales outlets be Saudi nationals. The most important positions that must be localized are branch manager and supervisor, treasurer, accountant, and customer service.

The MHRSD said that the Saudization of these sales outlets is in line with its efforts to provide more stimulating and productive job opportunities for Saudis, and to increase their level of participation in the Saudi labor market.

The MHRSD also announced that it has begun the first phase of the periodic technical examination of vehicles. This phase applies to all vehicles that are 5 years old or older. The second phase, which will apply to all vehicles that are 3 years old or older, will begin in January 2024.

The periodic technical examination of vehicles is mandatory, and vehicles that do not pass the examination will not be allowed to operate on public roads.

The MHRSD said that it will provide a package of incentives and support to help private sector businesses to hire Saudis, including assistance with the hiring process, training, and qualification.

The MHRSD also warned that businesses that violate the Saudization regulations will be subject to fines.
