SAUDI ARABIA ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Saudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. It possesses about 16% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of the private sector in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation, telecommuncations, natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Over 6 million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly focused on employing its large youth population, which generally lacks the education and technical skills the private sector needs. In 2014 the Kingdom ran its first budget deficit since 2009, and faces budget deficits for the foreseeable future because it requires an oil price greater than $100 per barrel to balance its budget. Although the Kingdom can finance high deficits for several years by drawing down its considerable foreign assets or borrowing, it probably will begin to reduce capital spending if oil prices stay low through the next year.

GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Opinion on the credit figure of EUR 150,000:

 

Please note that the subject’s commercial registration number is 1010083862 and not 1010039386.

 

Joannou & Paraskevaides (Overseas) Ltd has operations dating back to 1975 and is very well established in the market. It offers a range of general construction services and has completed many prestigious projects throughout Saudi Arabia.

 

The company is 51% owned by the wealthy Prince Mohamed Bin Saud Bin Abdulaziz and 49% by the internationally renowned Joannou & Paraskevaides (Overseas) Ltd.

 

Local sources report that subject’s operating history is clear with no problems noted regarding the manner in which payment obligations are fulfilled. The company enjoys the full support of its shareholders and we are of the opinion it would not enter into financial transactions it could not see its way clear to fulfil. As such the above credit figure is deemed admissible.
