- Prices of Brent crude reached their highest and lowest levels of $139 and $75 a barrel, respectively, during the year.

- Lifting COVID-19-related precautionary and preventive measures.

 

- King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud issued a royal decree to earmark SAR 20 billion to face the repercussions of global price hikes.

 

- Another royal decree was also issued to appoint Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman as Prime Minister.
