Saudi king names new economy minister, special adviser
RIYADH – Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has appointed a new economy minister and named his eldest son as a special adviser in a series of royal decrees issued early Monday.
The king named Faisal al-Ibrahim as the minister of economy and planning, a move that promotes him from his post as deputy minister where he had served since early 2018.
Ibrahim has previously held jobs with Aramco and in the country’s Council of Economic Affairs and Development, according to Saudi state media reports.
