DUBAI - Saudi Arabia's 2019 budget allocates 33 billion riyals ($8.8 billion) for the energy, industry, mining and logistics sectors, oil minister Khalid al-Falih said in a tweet on Wednesday.

That is more than three times the amount allocated in the previous budget, he said.

($1 = 3.7511 riyals)
