Saudi stocks drop most in world after Kingdom cuts pay

-

Saudi Arabian stocks fell more than any other market in the world as the kingdom announced fresh measures to narrow the budget gap. Not a single stock rose on the Tadawul All Share Index, which retreated 3.8 per cent on Tuesday, the most since for a single session since January. Saudi Arabia reduced ministers’ salaries by 20 per cent and that of members of the Shura Council, which advises the monarchy, by 15 per cent. BLOOMBERG<
