The first with a value of 3.305 billion Saudi riyals for sukuk maturing in 2028. The second amounted to 225 million Saudi riyals for sukuk maturing in 2033.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a report issued in May by S&amp;P Global, the sharp drop in oil prices at the beginning of the second half of 2014 reduced the balance of the Saudi government to the level of deficit. This required expanding its financing options and avoiding depleting assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result, the National Debt Management Center was established in 2015. Between 2015 and 2020 the government issued bonds and sukuk worth more than $200 billion. That is why the outstanding debt increased sharply, according to the rating agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S&amp;P Global expects the total debt owed by the Kingdom to reach about 46% of GDP by 2023, up from 20% in 2019 and close to zero in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raising the debt ceiling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2020, the government raised the debt ceiling from 30% to 50% of GDP, to accommodate more borrowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency also expects that the country will remain an active exporter during the next few years, based on expectations of an increase in the fiscal deficit, but only moderately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Center for Public Debt Management is a Saudi government center established within the Ministry of Finance in 2015 under the name \u201cPublic Debt Management Office\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October 2019 the Council of Ministers decided to transform it into a center with an independent legal personality, and its headquarters is in the capital, Riyadh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the center contributes to setting and developing public debt policy and securing the Kingdom&#8217;s financing needs in the short, medium and long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also works to ensure the Kingdom&#8217;s sustainable access to various debt markets to issue sovereign debt instruments at a fair price, in addition to following up on the kingdom&#8217;s credit rating affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Center for Debt Management in Saudi Arabia has completed receiving investors&#8217; requests to issue local sukuk for May 2021.
