Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah, The Puzzle of U.S.-Saudi Ties, Tadawul Hits 15 Year High, Solar Costs Rise
Dress Code at the Jeddah Grand Prix?
The Upcoming Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah is December 5th, and a new dress code for the event is making the rounds on the internet.
The dress code includes "no excessive makeup, no transparent clothing, no clothing which rests above the knee, no miniskirts, no backless dresses, nothing which shows straps, no tight clothing and no bikinis."
Saudi may want tourism, but it doesn't want to be Las Vegas.
The Puzzle of U.S.-Saudi Ties
Jon Alterman from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a reputable DC-based think tank, published a commentary on "the Puzzle" of U.S.-Saudi relations. It begins, "By most accounts, the Biden administration is pleased with the results of its policy toward Saudi Arabia, Alterman writes. But, he says, "The Saudis seem less satisfied, though. They feel the Biden team has pocketed their efforts at partnership and has given little in return." The hosts discuss why this commentary gets it right.
Saudi Arabia's Stock Market, the Tadawul, hits a 15-YEAR high
On Tuesday of this week, Saudi stocks reached a more than 15-year high. Those gains continued through the rest of the week, and the Tadawul ended even higher on Thursday.
The 966 hosts discuss why investors remain optimistic in the region.
The Rising Cost of Solar in Saudi Arabia
Bid prices to develop Saudi Arabia’s latest round of solar-power projects rose substantially from earlier this year. This underscores how soaring panel costs are hitting the renewable-energy industry, according to a Bloomberg report. The hosts discuss the status of solar development in Saudi Arabia and why they would like to see it move faster.
