DUBAI- Saudi Arabia may issue bonds in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the finance minister told Al Arabiya TV.

Saudi Arabia has issued $52 billion in dollar bonds since it started tapping the international debt markets in 2016.

Earlier this year, government representatives met bond investors in Taiwan to discuss the potential sale of Formosa bonds - debt securities sold in Taiwan by foreign issuers and denominated in currencies other than the Taiwanese dollar.
