The Saudi National Transformation Plan aims to diversify the economy away from oil but faces challenges in meeting ambitious targets and maintaining macro stability. The USD peg is likely to hold, but energy policy may need to become less aggressive to support FX policies. Large and regular sovereign Eurobond issuance is expected to weigh on regional bond spreads if risk appetite does not hold up or fiscal balance slips.
