Saudi Arabia Open to Talks on Trade in Currencies Besides Dollar.
Jan 18, 2023
Saudi Arabia is open to discussions about trade in currencies other than the US dollar, according to the kingdom’s finance minister.
'There are no issues with discussing how we settle our trade arrangements, whether it is in the US dollar, whether it is the euro, whether it is the Saudi riyal,' Mohammed Al-Jadaan told Bloomberg TV on Tuesday in an interview in Davos.
'I don’t think we are waving away or ruling out any discussion that will help improve the trade around the world,' Al-Jadaan said.
The world’s largest oil exporter, which has maintained a currency peg to the dollar for decades, is seeking to strengthen its relations with crucial trade partners including China. The kingdom is a pillar a petrodollar system established in the 1970s that relies on pricing crude exports in the US currency.
During President Xi Jinping’s visit to Riyadh last year, the two countries agreed to boost coordination on energy policy and exploration. During that trip Xi said that China would make efforts to buy more oil from the Middle East and also wanted to settle that trade in the yuan.

'We enjoy a very strategic relationship with China and we enjoy that same strategic relationship with other nations including the US and we want to develop that with Europe and other countries who are willing and able to work with us,' Al-Jadaan said.
Saudi Arabia is also working with multilateral institutions to provide support to Pakistan, Turkey and Egypt, as part of the kingdom’s largesse to nations it deems 'vulnerable,' Al-Jadaan said.
'We are investing heavily in these countries and will continue to look for opportunities to invest,' Al Jadaan said. 'It’s very important to bring stability.'

The minister said his country is looking to invest $10 billion in Pakistan. It already extended the term of a $3 billion deposit to boost its foreign-currency reserves late last year, and Saudi Arabia is now exploring the possibility of increasing the amount.
'We are providing even oil and derivatives to support their energy needs,' Al Jadaan said. 'So there is a lot of efforts, but we wanted this to be conducted.'
The kingdom is also discussing with the World Bank and other institutions how can it be 'more creative to provide that support' to Pakistan, the minister said.
Saudi Arabia is also 'providing a lot of support to Egypt and we’ll continue to — not directly through just grants and deposits, but also through investments,' Al-Jadaan said.
