The wealth from natural resources, particularly oil, has helped to support the autocratic government in Saudi Arabia. However, this dependence on oil has also hindered economic diversification and growth in other sectors. The resource curse has led to a lack of innovation and investment in non-oil industries, as well as high levels of corruption and inequality. In addition, the country's economy has been hit hard by fluctuations in global oil prices, resulting in economic challenges and a failure to significantly improve quality of life for many Saudi citizens.
