Foreign Investment
Heard a report on NPR about an idea for expansion of foreign investment by the Saudi Monarchy. In view of the potential for reduced reliance on oil in the future by the rest of the world, a Deputy Prince would like to massively increase the funds currently available for foreign investment in order to offset the anticipated reduction in oil prices with investments in other parts of the world. it was also reported that the Saudi Government has experienced a deficit in revenues from oil due to reduced oil prices. So, they're looking for ways to eliminate that deficit. Guess we better get used to it, all of that and more makes it sound like the Saudi's will be buying new stuff all over the world.
