Barr said that United Seemac had not renewed medical insurance for its workers after it expired earlier that year, meaning that the employees couldn’t access healthcare in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has announced plans for an economic overhaul under a plan called Saudi Vision 2030.
It was publicized by Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in a televised announcement on April 25, 2016, and appears to be the brainchild of the king’s now Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
It focuses on privatizations, further reductions in subsidies, selling a stake of less than 5 percent in Saudi Aramco, and the creation of a giant $2-trillion Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Economists and financial experts, however, maintain that Saudi Arabia’s plan looks blurry, and the creation of a sustainable Saudi economy remains a mirage.
