The Ministry of Economy and Planning launched on Wednesday the beta version of the Data Saudi mobile application, a comprehensive online platform that provides access to key economic and social data about the Kingdom.
According to a ministry statement, the application displays data from "trusted local and global sources, providing users with a better understanding of the economic landscape in Saudi Arabia, by utilizing interactive visualization techniques".
The application facilitates access to data directly on the users’ mobile devices, allowing them to browse all published economic, social, and sectoral data.
The application also enables access to the most important national and regional economic and social indicators, and data about the Kingdom’s international economic interactions with more than 180 countries.

Those interested in experiencing the application can download it from the App Store and Google Play.

The European Union has imposed sanctions on 16 individuals and three entities it said were linked to Russian hybrid activities, its first such measures against actions of this kind, it said in a statement on Monday.

The sanctions target those accused of undermining EU values and security through disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks and covert operations, Reuters reported.

Those sanctioned include Artem Kureev, who the EU said was linked to Russian disinformation in Africa, and Sofia Zakharova, who it said was involved in a disinformation campaign supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine.
