Tourists embarked on a three-dimensional tour of an office adaptation of
the Kingdom’s first finance minister, Sheikh Abdullah Al-Hamdan
JEDDAH: The Finance Ministry has for the first time shared its most
significant achievements over the years at an interactive pavilion set
up at the 33rd Janadriyah Festival, held this month in Janadriyah Park
near Riyadh.
Visitors were given a glimpse into how the state budget is allocated and
implemented through an interactive presentation that includes how the
ministry manages the Kingdom’s most prominent projects, including the
expansion works taking place in Makkah and Madinah, the establishment of
Princess Nourah University and construction of the King Fahd Causeway,
which connects Saudi Arabia to Bahrain.
The pavilion shares information about the ministry’s history and its
role in preserving state funds. An interactive chart also offers
visitors a glimpse into the budget preparation process.
Residents, many of whom have enjoyed years of tax-free income in the
oil-rich country, were briefed on how the new value-added taxation
system would be implemented through the newly integrated General
Authority of Zakat and Tax.
Tourists also embarked on a three-dimensional tour of an office
adaptation of the Kingdom’s first finance minister, Sheikh Abdullah
Al-Hamdan. The office contains official documents, old paintings of the
cars used at the time and the first calendar ever to be published in Umm
Al-Qura in Makkah.
Finally, the pavilion offered children an interactive theatrical performance titled “Money through the generations.”
The ministry has actively promoted partnership with the private sector
over the years and has represented the Kingdom in several international
financial forums.
