Laid Back Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 “Saudi Arabia keeps the exchange rate pegged at 3.75 to the dollar” This means 1 Saudí Riyal = $0.27 dollars.

Hotcurl Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Just to clarify the above, The current exchange rate of the Saudi Riyal to the US Dollar = $ .26651 Thus it takes 3.75 Saudi Riyal to make 1.00 US Dollar. On a positive note $ .26651 coming out of the gate in exchange for 1 IQD would be a positive sign Semper Fi RV There yet ?

Donziman Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Unlike a democracy Sadi government is run by the royal family. No voting to stall their decisions. This is why they are more efficient than even the USA Six months after iraq's election we still don't have a seated government.

Engine1 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 From what I read this is about the Sadi currency not mentioning Iraq currency so why is everybody getting excited and figuring out values for Iraq Dunar ?

yota691 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Bloomberg: Saudi Arabia's vision of economic reform is confused 03:44 - 22/12/2018 The new expansionist budget for Saudi Arabia suggests the government lacks the determination and discipline to break the country's reliance on oil, reduce government aid and develop a viable private sector, the Bloomberg news agency reported . The next year's budget - announced on Tuesday - is expected to spend about $ 300 billion, the largest in the kingdom's history, despite weak oil prices and falling production. In an editorial entitled "Saudi Arabia's distorted vision of economic reform," the agency noted that the budget recorded a deficit of 4.2% of GDP, and that the gap could widen as revenue projections depend on the price increase is unlikely. The government has announced that it will extend for another year its annual grant to citizens. This type of spending is precisely what the Saudi economic plan, known as 2030, intended to eliminate. Bloomberg sees steps the government can take to reassure investors that their vision of a diversified and well-run economy has not been destroyed. A good start would be to abandon luxury plans to spend $ 500 billion to build a new city on the northwestern coast of the kingdom, she said. The government should speed up the privatization of 14 state-owned companies - announced in April - as this will help secure a definitive end to grants after 2019. Bloomberg concludes that leaving investors in doubt about the Kingdom's commitment to reform will deepen the problems that have already caused the Including the repercussions of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and said that what she called "desperate measures" is not a substitute for the economic reforms considered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
