It is worrying when the expanding government expenditure begins to erode the financial surpluses built over the last few years, Saudi economist Fadhil Albuainain said.
Saudi Arabia said on Thursday that it projects total expenditure in 2015 to reach 860 billion Saudi riyals ($229.3 billion), an increase of nearly 1% from the last budget, a record.
