Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Saudi Arabia has paid about $1 billion to Saudi Binladin Group, its biggest construction company as part of the kingdom's efforts to help the laid-off migrant community to cope with job loss. Last month, the Binladen Group was paid between $800 million to $1.1 billion so that the firm could "honour unpaid wages," the Wall Street Journal reported. The family-owned firm is involved in construction projects such as the Holy Mosque expansion in Mecca and building Riyadh's financial district.
