UPDATE 1-Saudi Arabia reassures boycotting banks, prince to address forum | Reuters:
Saudi Arabia said on Wednesday it would not penalize foreign banks boycotting an investment forum in a message of reassurance for a gathering overshadowed by a global outcry over slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The kingdom’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is due to speak later at the meeting of international investors in his most high profile remarks since the columnist, one of his most prominent critics, was killed in Istanbul on Oct. 2.
The world’s top oil exporter has come under increasing pressure over the killing of Khashoggi in a crisis that has strained its ties with the West.
