Saudi Arabia Approves Two Thousand Twenty-Six Borrowing Plan With Financing Needs of Fifty-Eight Billion Dollars
Kingdom sets out funding strategy to support fiscal stability and long-term development objectives
Saudi Arabia has approved its borrowing plan for two thousand twenty-six, setting out financing needs of approximately fifty-eight billion dollars as part of a measured strategy to manage public finances and support long-term economic priorities.
The plan, endorsed by the Kingdom’s finance authorities, outlines how the government intends to meet its funding requirements while maintaining prudent debt levels and market confidence.
Officials said the borrowing programme is designed to cover budget financing needs and debt repayments due in the year, while also preserving flexibility to take advantage of favourable market conditions.
The strategy includes a mix of domestic and international debt issuance, consistent with Saudi Arabia’s established approach to diversifying funding sources and extending debt maturities.
The approval comes as the Kingdom continues to implement its Vision Twenty Thirty agenda, which focuses on economic diversification, infrastructure investment and sustainable growth.
Authorities have emphasised that borrowing decisions are aligned with medium-term fiscal planning and are intended to support priority projects without undermining financial stability.
Saudi Arabia’s debt-to-gross domestic product ratio remains moderate by international standards, providing room to manage financing needs responsibly.
The government has repeatedly stated its commitment to maintaining strong credit fundamentals, supported by deep capital markets and substantial financial buffers.
The two thousand twenty-six borrowing plan underscores the Kingdom’s proactive fiscal management and its determination to balance development ambitions with disciplined financial oversight as it navigates evolving global economic conditions.
