AI Summary
Content Summary: 
Saudi banks and financial institutions lower monthly deduction rate to 55% for employees earning below SAR 15,000
Banks and financial institutions operating in Saudi Arabia reduced the monthly deduction rate for new personal and mortgage loans. The new rate became 55% of the total monthly salary, compared to the previous 65% that had been in place since 2014, Al-Eqtisadiah newspaper reported, citing its sources.
The new deduction cap will apply to employees earning below SAR 15,000, regardless of whether the loan is subsidized or not.
This move seeks to enhance the quality of life for middle- and low-income segments by better balancing the needs of home financing and household financial sustainability, the sources added.
