On Aug. 2, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud issued directives to extend support for the Citizen’s Account beneficiaries for an additional two months until September 2023. Registration in the Citizen’s Account Program will also remain open, according to data compiled by Argaam.

 

The step came in continuation of the royal directive issued in July 2022 to provide additional financial support to beneficiaries of the Citizen Account Program until 2022-end.

 

This is in addition to the royal directives in January and April 2023 to extend the program and provide additional support, as well as continue to open registration for it until July 2023 in accordance with the previously announced controls.
