Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) Governor Ahmed al-Kholifey, also told an economic conference in Riyadh that it was too early to get the full picture of the economic damage caused by the new coronavirus, which has emerged in China and spread globally.
The International Monetary Fund in January said it expects Saudi Arabia’s economy will expand at 1.9% this year, up from an estimated 0.4% in 2019, however the forecast for the kingdom’s 2020 forecast was cut from 2.2% due to lower oil output.
