Saudi Arabia topped the Global Food Security Index (GFSI), and surpassed the first places in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s two indicators of “Entrepreneurs’ Response to the Corona Pandemic” and “The Government’s Response in Supporting Entrepreneurs,” which measure the extent to which the different levels of motivation and entrepreneurial activity have affected the impact of the Corona pandemic on the world.
The Saudi National Center for Measuring the Performance of Public Institutions (Adaa) noted that the performance of the Saudi government continues to achieve important leaps, which indicates the good management of the “Corona” pandemic for the years 2020 and 2021, which represent the peak of the repercussions of the epidemic.
Adaa Center indicated that the Kingdom's superiority was not in one field, but rather in several different fields, achieving the first ranks in the world in international indicators. The Kingdom also came among the top eight countries in the world in two indicators, and among the top 20 countries in two other indicators. The center also added that Saudi Arabia has continued its progress in the rise of its international indicators, maintaining its supremacy in the "Food Standards" index, achieving the first place in the world in 2020. This index is one of the sub-components of the "Food Security" index, which is issued annually by the Economic Intelligence Unit, and answers the question of food safety by posing the most important causes of food insecurity based on four indicators: affordability, availability, quality and safety, natural resources and adaptation to climate change.
