The Saudi economy is dominated by huge state corporations that produce about
2 thirds of GDP.

Some royal family members are in fact pushing for the privatisation. Where
is your evidence the royal family owns most of the economy privately?

 Privatization?  Since virtually everything there is already the property
 of the Saudi family, new foreign investment could scarcely
 increase the degree of privatization.  Besides, if the
 investment  is in new projects it would no more represent
 privatization than did Lenin's policy of concessions
 in the NEP.

Saudi Arabia, as its name declares, is the private property of the
al-Saud family.
