FunkyMetahuman:we are talking about economic recession some people are calling for more holidays Note: Fridays and Saturdays in Saudi are Saturdays and Sundays in most developed countries ( called western world) Sun Jun 23, 2013 | 3:10 PM BST Saudi Arabia changes its working week to Sunday-Thursday (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has announced it is switching its official weekend to Fridays and Saturdays, bringing the kingdom's working week closer in line with other countries in a move long desired by many of the country's businesses. Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, had been the only member of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council to have a Thursday-Friday weekend after Oman shifted to a Friday-Saturday weekend last month. The surprise move, which will be applied from this week, was immediately welcomed by Saudi economists and businessmen as giving the private sector an extra day of alignment with international businesses. "It will increase interface with the rest of the world, now things will move faster," said Ali al-Ajmi, a former vice president at state oil company Saudi Aramco who now runs a project management business. Abdulrahman al-Ubaid, a former vice president at Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC), the world's biggest petrochemical company, and now managing director of Saudi Development and Innovation Group, also welcomed the change. "We expect the impact to be positive on the Saudi economy, we think our business will be easier," he said. Some religious conservatives had argued against moving to a Friday- Saturday weekend because they feared it smacked of westernisation. However, that argument did not enjoy serious support, said Saudi sociologist Khalid al-Dakhil. "In terms of religious opposition, yes there might be some, but there's absolutely no unanimity in opposing this course among religious people," he said. for more info check source: uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/idUKBRE95M08620130623 |
