DID Press: Several major international financial and investment firms have restricted employees’ in-person work in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, and allowed them to work remotely following reported missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s armed forces on King Khalid International Airport and other critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
Investment firm Franklin Templeton and banks Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank have reportedly allowed employees to carry out their duties from home.
The reported decision comes amid growing concerns over the security of economic activity and the presence of international companies in Riyadh following reports of attacks on critical Saudi infrastructure.
However, the report provided no further details about the timing or extent of the alleged attacks, or the duration of the remote-work arrangements.
