What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Saudi Arabia announced major labor and economic reforms, including a private sector minimum wage of SR5,000 for employees counted toward nationalization quotas, which is set to increase to SR6,000 in one year. These changes coincide with the National Water Company adjusting electricity and water consumption tariffs starting January 1, 2027. To mitigate the financial impact of the utility changes, a monthly allowance of SR500 was established for certain demographics.
