Saudi Arabia's " breakeven " oil price is growing as the kingdom embarks on huge spending projects as part of Vision 2030 .

With each passing year , that projected breakeven oil price gets higher, and the kingdom's deficit widens.

But Saudi Arabia has plenty of tools at its disposal to deal with a widening deficit, economists say.

Nomura : Saudi Arabia's economy is progressing along its diversification track.

Risks remain if oil demand continues to be soft in major consuming countries and crude supply in non-OPEC+ countries continue to grow.

The kingdom "still lacks the quantum of foreign direct investments desired," Nomura report says.
