Saudi newspaper, Saudi Gazette, reported that many of the Cars dealers, clothing and utensils stores have been closed in different parts of the Kingdom, their foreign owners fear being exposed to fines from the authorities.
Authorities began inspections to ensure the enforcement of the new procedures.
These measures are being criticized by economists as the replacement of a foreign vendor or foreign worker with another Saudi does not solve the problem of the Saudi economy. Saudi worker lacks the qualified cadres in many modern fields, according to their words.
