"SAMA" assets increased to 468,6 billion Dollar

Net foreign assets of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) (the central bank) increased to 1.668 trillion riyals ($ 444.8 billion) at the end of May 2020.

This announced figure comes within the monthly statistics of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency today, Sunday, compared with a balance of 1.665 trillion riyals ($ 444.1 billion) at the end of April this year.

The assets of the Monetary Agency increased by 24.7 billion riyals in one month to reach 1.758 trillion riyals at the end of May 2020.


The importance of stability and increase in this value is highlighted by the foreign reserve assets that are part of the Saudi reserves, as they come in light of the emerging Corona pandemic and its global repercussions.

The value of the monetary survey in Saudi Arabia, according to what Al-Arabiya has seen, represents a huge value of assets amounting to 3.9 trillion riyals, including the foreign assets of the monetary institution, along with the assets of foreign banks and the liabilities of banks from the private sector and other items.

The value of the foreign assets of the Monetary Agency, plus foreign assets belonging to Saudi banks, increases to a total value of 1.78 trillion riyals, which reflects foreign assets in the banking system as a whole.
