What is Saudi Arabia doing :
- Pursuing an aggressive Saudiisation programme to create jobs for locals
- Planning to reduce the number of expats from 7 million to 4 m by 2013
Impact on India:
- The number of Indians might shrink; money inflows willbe hit
- The only hope is that not many Saudis might like to take low-level jobs; so the majority of semi-skilled Indians will remain unaffected
