His Highness the Amir Receives the President of the Court of Audit
Economic decisions to support Saudi citizens include increases in allowances and salaries.
Translated by Qiyas from الوسط — Original source
Several economic decisions were taken by His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, to support Saudi citizens in facing the repercussions of the increases in electricity and water tariffs. The decisions include raising monthly allowances for employees, retirees, and families benefiting from social welfare by 500 riyals, as well as raising the minimum wage for citizens in the private sector to 5,000 riyals, and then to 6,000 riyals after 12 months. These socio-economic decisions aim to alleviate the burdens on citizens, particularly in light of the current regional and international circumstances. May God protect the friendly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from all harm.
