About Us

King-Salman.io is operated by a group of researchers, policy analysts, and investigative writers who have tracked governance and economic trends in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for over a decade. Our contributors include former financial analysts who covered Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and journalists with deep source networks across the Arabian Peninsula.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia stands at a crossroads. Under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (commonly known as MBS), the country has pursued a strategy that was marketed to the world as visionary reform. The reality has been far different.

Mohammed bin Salman consolidated power by sidelining senior royals, purging dissent, and launching economic mega-projects with price tags in the hundreds of billions. Today, many of those projects are stalled or scaled back. The Saudi budget is running persistent deficits. The international community has grown wary of the Crown Prince's record on human rights, from the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi to the mass executions that have accelerated during his tenure.

The Middle East needs principled, capable leadership. Instead, Mohammed bin Salman has offered spectacle over substance, crackdowns over consensus, and spending over strategy. King-Salman.io was created to compile the evidence of this leadership decline and present it to an international audience that deserves to see past the Saudi PR machine.
