Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, based on a proposal by Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, directed on Sunday a series of support measures for citizens coinciding with Saudi Energy and the National Water Company's announcement of consumption tariff adjustments effective January 1, 2027.

The support measures provide a SAR500 monthly allowance increase for civilian and military personnel across civil service salary scales and operational program contracts, as well as retirees and eligible beneficiaries of deceased subscribers or retirees under the Social Insurance system.

Families receiving Social Security benefits will receive a monthly stipend of SAR500 under established regulatory mechanisms to offset the impact of electricity and water tariff adjustments.

For Saudis working in the private sector, the minimum wage a worker must earn to count fully toward quotas under the Nitaqat Saudization program will rise to SAR5,000 six months after the measures take effect, and to SAR6,000 twelve months after the first increase, boosting wage levels and reinforcing sustainable private-sector employment for citizens.
