The step comes in line with the regulations set by Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) and the Saudi government to curb the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
Earlier this week, SAMA launched a SAR 50 billion financing package to support the private sector, especially the small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and mitigate the potential economic impacts of the coronavirus outbreak.
Under the new scheme, up to SAR 30 billion funding will be used by all banks and finance institutions to defer payments owed by SMEs for six months with immediate effect.
