An annual salary survey was recently conducted by Gulf Business<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>due to the dramatic economic changes in the Gulf, such as the implementation of value added tax and fee increases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia was found to be the highest paying country compared to its other 5 GCC neighbours this year alone. An average monthly salary of $8,560 or SAR 32,000 plus was covered in the last year. These numbers show that the Kingdom’s annual salary is 2.9 percent higher than the UAE’s and 8.4 percent more than Bahrain’s- respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
