(MENAFN) Saudi Debt Management Office has explained that as a result of flooding demand, the refinancing of an international loan is to be increased from USD10 billion to USD16 billion.
A "significant" Islamic tranche was also declared to be implemented to transactions, pushing for Saudi efforts to climb the top in the area of Islamic finance.
Saudi Arabia is to strengthen its power as a global debt hub through a USD16 billion facility that is to be the most major syndicated loan in emerging markets.
Saudi Arabia has previously increased the initial USD10 billion loan from 14 leading banks in 2016 when global oil prices collapsed, pushing it to turn into borrowing so as to make up for a major budget shortfall.
