Saudi Arabia: economic releases explained

16 releases. Figures are published mainly by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT); monetary policy is set by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) through the repo rate, and the releases move the SAR. The riyal is pegged to the US dollar, so Saudi rates follow the Fed.
