Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources licensed 196 new plants at a total investment cost of over SAR 3 billion, only 3 months after the government decided to pay expat fees for the industrial sector employees, said Minister Bandar Alkhorayef.

 

More than 10,000 new employees, including 5,000 nationals, are working in these facilities, Alkhjorayef said, adding that these promising numbers reflect the industrial sector’s role in creating jobs across the Kingdom.

 

The Saudi Cabinet announced that it will pay five-year mandatory fees for expatriates working in the industrial sector starting from Oct. 1, 2019.
