Saudi Arabia is committed to settle all outstanding payments owed to private sector companies by the Saudi government as soon as possible, announced Kingdom’s economy and planning minister Mohammed Al-Tuwaijri.
A major setback faced by the Saudi government following fall in oil prices since mid-2014 led them to cut-down several projects and delay payments to several contractors and suppliers. In addition, some settlements were delayed due to disputes.
Al-Tuwaijri said that a vast majority of claims have now been addressed with the government repaying billions of dollars in outstanding payments and the rest will be settled within months.
