Saudi Arabia to implement Jan deadline to move regional HQs to Riyadh -finance minister

Saudi Arabia's finance minister said on Wednesday a deadline for foreign companies to move their regional headquarters to the capital Riyadh before January, or lose out on government contracts, will be implemented. Mohammed Al-Jadaan also said he did not take discussions on BRICS membership in any political way.

"It's more economic," he said in an interview with Reuters, adding that the kingdom will announce if and when it will accept an invitation to join the bloc.
