Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's current WokeMeter assessment score stands at 25, placing it at the 166th position globally and in the 7.5th percentile. This score reflects the nation's low intensity in adopting Western-style progressive policy signalling. The assessment is consistent with the dimension scores, each at 25, which indicate limited engagement with policies such as corporate DEI mandates, progressive content moderation, and LGBTQIA+ rights. Saudi Arabia's socio-political landscape, characterized by restrictive policies on women's rights and anti-LGBTQ laws, contributes to its low signalling intensity. The absence of recent policy changes or events further supports the low score, highlighting a static approach to progressive policy adoption.

Analyzing the dimension scores, each category, from Speech & Expression Climate to Protest & Activism Salience, uniformly scores 25, illustrating a consistent pattern of low policy signalling across all dimensions. This uniformity indicates that Saudi Arabia has not prioritized the implementation of the Western-style policies typically measured by the index. The lack of significant recent events or policy shifts in these areas suggests a stable but low-intensity signalling environment, reflecting the country's broader socio-political stance. This analysis highlights the minimal engagement with the types of policies that drive higher signalling intensity in other regions.
