Board of Directors & corporate governance
A basic principle of corporate governance (CG) relates to the Board of Directors of the company, wherein the company shall be headed by an effective, collegial, and informative Board of Directors. You, as an executive or board member, need to ask yourself, where do we (as a company) stand in this?To achieve the ultimate goal and rationale of corporate governance, all members of the Board of Directors should understand the exact role and responsibilities of the Board as stipulated, inter alia, in the Company Law, the Articles & Memorandum of Association of the company, the corporate culture, and the corporate governance code.The outcome of this, in particular, highlights that the role of the Board is different from the role of the shareholders of the company (whose interests the Board...

Jordan: The Muslim Brotherhood's Agitation and Sisyphus' Boulder
A quick search into the shadowy hands behind every disturbance, especially in stable and secure countries like Jordan, reveals the Muslim Brotherhood as the culprit. The Brotherhood members swap roles among their groups across various Arab nations. It's evident that the recent uncontrolled protests in Jordan are incited by the Brotherhood, who are inevitably responsible for the Palestinians' plight in Gaza and the West Bank, due to ongoing Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023.This role-swapping was witnessed everywhere the Brotherhood meddled, disrupting the peace and stability of several Arab societies. Their incitement tactics fail to achieve their ultimate goal of seizing power; in Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, and Jordan.Post October 7, 2023, they've been fracturing the...

Why do education reform strategies often fail?
Education is a fundamental factor in enhancing the quality of life and serves as a crucial tool for full societal integration, especially in culturally diverse societies. The demand for education has surged, driven by the quest for high-quality education that equips students with advanced skills and up-to-date knowledge.A major driver behind the push for education reform is the evolving labor market, accelerated technological advancements, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Consequently, countries worldwide are initiating medium- and long-term strategic projects aimed at developing, reforming, or enhancing education. Despite varying nomenclatures, the underlying goal remains consistent: to provide high-quality teaching and learning experiences.Specialists and followers of educational...

Saudi Arabians remain unfazed by the 'buzz' of fools
In every era, a faction of "wily, troubled individuals" emerges, regrettably some of them Arabs. Their primary concern is to belittle, demean, and undermine others, casting governments and peoples in the light of "lies and fabrications."During the 1970s and 1980s, this group's favorite accusation was labeling the Gulf, specifically the Saudi, policy as "petrodollar politics." In London, "extortionists," primarily from the northern Arab regions, falsely and maliciously called themselves "journalists," and published yellow newsletters and frail magazines, believing that defaming Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, or what they derogatorily called "desert Bedouins," was a shortcut to the petrodollar wealth. Naturally, these...

We have celebrated Founding Day for three years - but it has been with us for 300
Perhaps the most endearing thing about Founding Day is the fact that it feels like something which has always been with us. But of course it will only be the third year that Saudis have celebrated this holiday.I think the reason for such familiarity is the fact it has helped to anchor us securely in our past by going down memory lane and remembering who we are.It binds us to the foundations our great nation is built on, making us feel blessed, firstly for the safety and security we are able to enjoy because of this.I believe Saudi Arabia’s greatest strength is its ability to embrace both the past and the future, to stay true to our traditions while welcoming those of others from around the world.We do this better than any other nation on earth - it’s something we have seen in the...

Why is FinTech flourishing in Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia, under its Vision 2030 and Financial Sector Development Program (FSDP) — with the FinTech strategy approved in May 2022 as its fourth pillar, aims to become a cashless society with a target of 70% by 2030. It also aims to make the Kingdom a global FinTech hub that attracts entrepreneurs from around the world as well as within the country.FinTech Saudi was established in 2018 as an ecosystem builder and catalyst under the supervision of the country's financial regulators, SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority) and CMA (Capital Market Authority), to lay the foundation and further accelerate the sector's success journey. This initiative has led to an increase in the number of FinTech startups to 207 in 2023, up from only 10 in 2018—an increase of 20.7 times in five...

Merging for acquisition
Business activities are now facing some difficulties due to a lack of logistics, finance, and others, which are bringing businesses to a standstill. This de facto situation puts some businesses on the verge of collapse. This urgently requires brave and positive actions to maintain the status quo of many entities.Joining hands to work together could open a room for survival. Consolidation and amalgamation of companies is a possible good opportunity. As a rule, this could take place either by the process of acquisition or otherwise by merger. There were good examples of acquisitions in middle-size companies, as legally approved by the regulators and without affecting the trading rules governing fair competition.Consolidation by acquisition shall be effective by applying certain formalities....

Secrets of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s saga of successes

This victory for the third year in a row was not a mere...

Why does the world speak mainly in English?
Why does the world speak mainly in English? This is because we are culturally alienated. We constantly hear and read about explanations that made the Arabic language backward, while the English language became a global language as it is the language of software and science.But the truth is that no language is considered a universal language because of its structural features or because of the size of its vocabulary or because it was a vehicle to reach out to great literature of the past or because it was once associated with a great culture or a renowned religion.These are all factors that can motivate someone to learn a language, but none of them can guarantee the spread of the language in the world. In fact, such factors cannot even guarantee survival as a living language — as shown by...

The post-October 7 scenario is not the same as before!
I recall what the famous poet Abu Firas Al-Hamdani said: “And my companions said fleeing or escaping. I said: They are two things, the sweetest of which is bitter.” This is exactly the condition of those who follow the bloody scenes in the Gaza Strip. The number of martyrs in the Gaza massacres exceeded 21000, most of them women and children. The door is still open for killing and destruction if a final agreement on the truce is not reached, which seems a very difficult possibility because the Israeli war machine limits the war to two goals: eliminating the Hamas movement, and liberating all Israeli hostages, especially “dual nationals.” The people of Gaza must realize that any truce is not for the sake of safeguarding their lives and blood, as much as it is to allow Hamas to...
