Arriyadh said that amid current political and economic tensions, partly caused by a sharp rise of oil prices, leading countries of the world are begging the help of the Kingdom.

The paper said the Kingdom succeeded to emerge intact and safe out of a series of challenges and dangers, citing its fight of terrorism, showing steadfast before some regional rouge leaders, conquering the coronavirus pandemic, fighting a fair war to support Yemeni people and staging an unprecedented relief and humanitarian campaign to help the needy in that country.

The paper quoted official sources as forcasting that the economic growth will reach 7.4 percent this year, while the IMFexpects it will jump to a 7.6 percent.

It added that the domestic product of the oil sector grew to 20.4 percent in the first quarter of this year, thanks to production and price increases.
