RIYADH, March 15 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's finance
minister said on Wednesday that a decision on allocating last
year's budget surplus of almost $28 billion will soon be
finalised, with the bulk of the surplus expected to boost
reserves.
Mohammed Al Jadaan told Reuters that a decision will be made
within two weeks and that he does not think the Public
Investment Fund (PIF), the country's sovereign wealth fund, will
receive a part of the surplus.
