Seasoned Saudi banker and technocrat steers region's biggest economy - The National:
"Mohammed Al Tuwaijri is Saudi Arabia’s new minister of economy and planning, a fitting role for the technocrat who has been at the front-and-centre of the kingdom’s economic transformation drive ever since he joined the government ranks. Mr Al Tuwaijri, who was the vice minister of economy and planning, has replaced Adel Fakeih in a late Saturday night ministerial shake up aimed at streamlining the country’s economy, which is still heavily dependent on the sale of hydrocarbons for the revenues. A former Saudi Royal Air Force pilot, Mr Al Tuwaijri, has been instrumental in helping the policymakers in shaping up the economic and fiscal agenda over the past year or so. A banking veteran with 21 years of service under his belt, 12 of which were spent in senior executive management roles in Saudi banks, he has been the public face of the kingdom's economic reform agenda."
