RIYADH — The Saudi cities of Riyadh and Jeddah have improved their position on the Global Liveability Index published by the Economist.

The annual liveability report prepared by the Economist Group's Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) lised 140 cities around the world based on an assessment of such factors as stability, culture and environment, education, health care, and infrastructure.

According to the index, Riyadh has improved by three places to 103rd, and Jeddah advanced four places to 107th compared to 2022.

In a bid to achieve the objectives of the Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom's Quality of Life Program seeks to include three Saudi cities among the world's top 100 on the liveability index by 2030. This will be achieved by improving the quality of life of citizens, residents, visitors and tourists after giving them new options to enhance their participation in cultural, entertainment and sports activities. — SPA
