Emerging technologies in Saudi Arabia

沙特阿拉伯的新兴技术

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has made its stance on emerging technologies clear for its digitization objectives. While the government remains skeptical about blockchain use in finance, it has made a play in exploring central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to reduce cash usage and explore cross-border transaction settlement.

近年来，沙特阿拉伯对新兴技术的数字化目标明确作出了立场。尽管政府对金融中的区块链使用仍然持怀疑态度，但它在探索中央银行数字货币（CBDC）方面发挥了作用，以减少现金使用情况并探索跨境交易解决方案。

An improvement in the ease of doing business has seen industry heavyweights set up shop in the country, driving up interest. On the flip side, the government is pitching its tent with artificial intelligence (AI) to drive digitization as it seeks to keep pace with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

业务易于开展业务的提高使行业重量级商店在该国建立了商店，引起了人们的兴趣。另一方面，政府正在用人工智能（AI）向其帐篷推销，以推动数字化，因为它试图与阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）保持同步。
