The world’s biggest oil exporter is considering international and domestic debt issues to help finance its budget deficit. The country may post a budget deficit of 198 billion riyals ($53 billion) this year, equal to about 7.7 percent of economic output. It’s also turning to the main banks on its $17.5 billion debut international bond sale in October, a record for an emerging market nation, when it also worked with JPMorgan, Citigroup and HSBC.
The banks and Saudi Arabia’s finance ministry declined to comment.
The world’s biggest oil exporter plans to raise between $10 billion and $15 billion from international bond markets in 2017 and sell about 70 billion riyals locally, said Mohammad Al Tuwaijri, secretary-general of the Finance Committee at the Royal Court in December.
