Saudi Arabia’s economy likely deteriorated more in the second quarter than in the first three months of the year, the Saudi central bank governor said on Saturday.
Speaking at the end of a virtual meeting of G20 finance officials, Ahmed al-Kholifey said he did not expect the Saudi economy to have improved in the second quarter despite a pickup in June.
Saudi Arabia’s economy shrank by 1% in the first quarter, as the coronavirus crisis and lower oil prices took their toll.
