RIYADH — Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman has ordered the extension of Citizen’s Account Program along with the provision of additional support to its beneficiaries for another full year.

This decision was made based on the recommendation of Crown Prince, Prime Minister and Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The Citizen’s Account Program and additional support will continue to be provided to its beneficiaries until the end of the year 2025. This is in addition to continuing to open the registration for the program.

The King’s directive comes out of the Saudi leadership’s care for its citizens, as well as its keenness on easing the burdens on them apart from improving their living conditions in light of the changing economic conditions.The provision of additional support to the beneficiaries of the Citizen’s Account Program also comes as an extension of the previous generous directive issued by the King in July 2022.

Saudi Arabia launched the Citizen's Account Program to protect Saudi families from the expected direct and indirect impact of various economic reforms, which may cause an additional burden on society. The financial support will be transferred directly to eligible beneficiaries.
