The Saudi government is working to develop a comprehensive strategy to meet its budget financing needs. Although external borrowing could alleviate pressure on the domestic market, it will also create new risks. Reliance on foreign investors may help further enhance transparency. Foreign investors’ demand for diversification could also allow the Saudi government to enjoy attractive yields. Broadening the investor base and ensuring that the government’s debt issuance supports the development of the private debt market could help alleviate some of the negative economic and financial effects of higher government debt.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2016/327Industrial productivitySaudi ArabiaEconomic developmentSaudi ArabiaLabor marketSaudi ArabiaBanks and BankingimfFinancial Risk ManagementimfInvestments: BondsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfInvestments: GeneralimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfComparison of Public and Private Enterprises and Nonprofit InstitutionsimfPrivatizationimfContracting OutimfGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)imfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: InfrastructuresimfOther Public Investment and Capital StockimfEnergy: Demand and SupplyimfPricesimfPublic finance & taxationimfInvestment & securitiesimfLabourimfincome economicsimfGovernment debt managementimfSovereign bondsimfOil pricesimfPublic investment and public-private partnerships (PPP)imfPublic financial management (PFM)imfEconomic sectorsimfFinancial institutionsimfDebt managementimfAsset and liability managementimfDebts, PublicimfBondsimfPublic-private sector cooperationimfSaudi ArabiaimfIndustrial productivityEconomic developmentLabor marketBanks and BankingFinancial Risk ManagementInvestments: BondsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceInvestments: GeneralDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtComparison of Public and Private Enterprises and Nonprofit InstitutionsPrivatizationContracting OutGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)National Government Expenditures and Related Policies: InfrastructuresOther Public Investment and Capital StockEnergy: Demand and SupplyPricesPublic finance & taxationInvestment & securitiesLabourincome economicsGovernment debt managementSovereign bondsOil pricesPublic investment and public-private partnerships (PPP)Public financial management (PFM)Economic sectorsFinancial institutionsDebt managementAsset and liability managementDebts, PublicBondsPublic-private sector cooperation338.06DcWaIMFBOOK9910154886403321Saudi Arabia1178170UNINA
