The sukuk issue is a Cayman Islands-registered special purpose vehicle owned by the Saudi government, with its debt representing obligations to the Saudi state.

Although such reforms may delay some non-hydrocarbon sector projects, \u201cthe focus on macroeconomic and fiscal sustainability is credit positive,\u201d Moody\u2019s said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The downgrade in Moody\u2019s outlook on the Saudi economy comes on the back of <\/strong><strong>\u201cbalanced risks to the rating at a higher level,\u201d<\/strong> the ratings agency said. Although increased engagement from the private sector may result in an acceleration of diversification plans, there are \u201csupply-side constraints\u201d that may limit the pace of non-oil investments, particularly in the mining and industrial sectors. At the same time a weak outlook for oil and geopolitical tensions also present risks to diversification plans and the general economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some projections<\/strong>: The Kingdom\u2019s private sector non-hydrocarbon GDP is expected to grow at 4-5% annually, pegging the rate as among the quickest in the GCC, Moody\u2019s says. Meanwhile, the ratings agency sees Saudi maintaining fiscal deficits of between 2-3% of GDP a year, assuming \u201cthe absence of large shocks to oil prices and production.\u201d Oil prices are expected to drop from USD 82-83 \/ bbl in 2023-24 to USD 75 \/ bbl in 2025, and USD 70 \/ bbl in 2026-27 as Opec+ begins phasing out output cuts next year. Saudi Arabia\u2019s public debt is also expected to hit 35% of GDP in 2030, up from 26% of GDP at the close of 2023. <\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/credit-ratings\/\">credit ratings<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/economy\/\">ECONOMY<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/moodys\/\">Moody\u2019s<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/tag\/non-oil-economy\/\">Non-oil economy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"91830 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"91830\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2024\/11\/24\/91830\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-91830\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-91830 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasheelfinance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2024\/11\/1836.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"91831\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"91831\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">IPO WATCH<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2024\/11\/24\/al-battal-factory-issues-prospectus-for-nomu-ipo\/\">\r\n                            Chemical manufacturer Al Battal Factory issues prospectus for Nomu IPO                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/ksa\/2024\/11\/24\/al-battal-factory-issues-prospectus-for-nomu-ipo\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
