Cairo: Saudi Arabia’s king tasked minister of finance Muhammad Al Jadaan with overseeing the economy and planning ministry, relieving Muhammad Al Tuwaijri from his post, state news agency SPA said on Thursday.
King Salman appointed Al Tuwaijri as adviser at the royal court at the rank of minister, SPA added.
This comes two weeks after a Saudi cabinet reshuffle brought ex-energy minister Khalid Al Falih back as investment chief and introduced new ministries for sports and tourism.
