Saudi Arabia Said to Target First Dollar Bond

Saudi Arabia is planning its first dollar bond offering, potentially raising over $10 billion. This follows Qatar's successful $9 billion bond sale earlier in the year, which exceeded expectations due to high demand and low rates. The timing of Saudi Arabia's entry into the bond market is influenced by market conditions and the Federal Reserve's actions. The Saudi finance ministry has not commented on the matter, and the situation remains fluid.
