The Absher Individuals platform was the primary driver of this activity, accounting for over 47.8 million transactions.

This highlights the increasing reliance on digital identification and document access within the Kingdom.

Further breakdown shows the Absher Businesses platform processed nearly 3 million transactions.

The high volume of transactions demonstrates the ongoing digital transformation within Saudi Arabia's public services.
