Business interviews are a must read

As a regular reader of Arab News for a long time, I like the business section the most. The Arab News team is very active because whenever there is Saudi budget announcement or any other economic development, the first call I receive is from Arab News for expert comments.
Arab News always gives balanced news. This is very important to maintain a newspaper’s credibility.
The Saudi business community looks forward to look at Arab News on a daily basis. In addition to local news, they want to learn more about business and economic events happening worldwide, particularly Europe and the US
The interviews published by Arab News are also interesting. It is a good platform to share views for a larger number of audience.
The Arab News website also gives a good view of news locally as well as globally.
I believe, despite technological advancements, print media will hold its place intact for sometime.
At 39th anniversary, Arab News is going very strong and I wish a great success and wish the best of luck to the dedicated staff behind the scenes, who are taking pain to keep readers abreast of latest developments.
As a financial adviser and business broker, I envision that the interviews and comments are usually exposed to Google and other international platforms, which generally cover economic news regional and global. Arab News is always in the forefront to highlight the capital market activities in Saudi Arabia which is the largest market in the Middle East.

RIYADH: The Saudi Red Crescent Authority has signed a cooperation agreement with the Health Endowment Fund to launch a strategic partnership aimed at supporting and sustaining medical services in the Kingdom through the establishment of an emergency fund.
