DUBAI- Saudi Arabia is looking into possibly issuing euro-denominated bonds, the Saudi finance minister said in an interview with CNBC.

"The plan is to look into, potentially, another currency, euro is a possibility," Mohammed al-Jadaan said.

He said the government would also consider raising debt in other currencies such as the yuan.

Saudi Arabia issued $7.5 billion in international bonds this month, bringing to almost $60 billion the total amount it has raised through U.S. dollar-denominated public debt issues since 2016.
