Chapter Chapter 2 in Saudi Government Revenues and Expenditures, 2013, pp 23-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Government expenditures play an integral role in Saudi Arabia’s social and economic development. When the kingdom was established in 1932, there were no modern amenities. Roads, schools, and hospitals did not exist, and electricity was scarce. Indeed, Saudi Arabia was among the world’s poorest countries.1 The hijaz, or the western portion of Saudi Arabia, was slightly better off due to income generated from pilgrims visiting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.2
