The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs launched on Monday “Dawli”, a platform dedicated to recruitment opportunities at international organizations.

The announcement was made during the LEAP 2024 exhibition underway in Riyadh.

Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Executive Affairs Abdulhadi Al-Mansouri said Dawli aims to bolster Saudi representation at international organizations.

The platform also aims to enrich the international experiences of competent Saudi individuals, he said.

Dawli serves as a platform that brings together Saudi talents and available job opportunities at international organizations, he explained.

Moreover, he stressed that the platform is a testament to the support provided by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to the development of the Kingdom’s diplomatic community on various levels.

He further underscored the commitment of Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah to all initiatives launched by the ministry in line with the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

Egypt's net foreign assets (NFAs) dropped by $1.12 billion in October after a rise in September, central bank data shows.

NFAs declined to the equivalent of $9.21 billion at the end of October from $10.33 billion at the end of September, according to Reuters calculations based on the official central bank currency rates. The decline followed a $591 million gain in September.

Egypt had been using NFAs, which include foreign assets at both the central bank and commercial banks, to help to prop up its currency since as long ago as September 2021.

NFAs turned negative in February 2022 and only returned to positive territory in May this year.

Foreign assets rose at the central bank in October but dipped at commercial banks while foreign liabilities climbed at both commercial banks and the central bank.
