Saudi Arabia came first in the Arab region Middle East and North Africa in the Quality Infrastructure for Sustainable Development Index (QI4SD) 2024 released biennially by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO).

It also came in the 20th position globally, climbing 25 places compared to the 2022 index.

Key elements of quality infrastructure assessed in the index encompass standards, metrology, standardization, accreditation, conformity assessment, and national policies.

Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Authority (SASO) Governor Dr. Saad bin Othman Al-Qasbi said the positions in the index mirror the national efforts led by SASO in collaboration with the Saudi Accreditation Center and pertinent stakeholders from the public and private sectors.

These positions bolster Saudi Arabia's global standing and help achieve a more prosperous and competitive economy, he added in a statement.

Al-Qasbi praised the evolution of the Kingdom's quality system and its impact on living standards, economic growth, and business operations, which have contributed to Saudi Arabia's advancements in global rankings.

Saudi Arabia's place among the top 20 nations is testimony to its dedication to boosting quality infrastructure and refining its legal framework and regulations.
