Saudi to Allocate 2.5 Million Airline Seats for Umrah by End of 2025
Routes from Europe, including Paris, Lyon and London, are part of a wider strategy to improve access to Madinah and Jeddah. Saudi Arabia has announced plans to allocate a total of 2.5 million airline seats for Umrah pilgrims by the end of 2025, with over 700,000 seats already utilised during the first quarter of the year. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance air connectivity to the Kingdom's key pilgrimage cities, including Madinah and Jeddah, and to streamline travel for visitors from across the globe. The expansion was unveiled during the Umrah and Ziyarah Forum, held in Madinah from April 14th to the 16th, which brought together 150 exhibitors representing over 100 countries. The event focused on infrastructure, travel technologies, and Madinah's historical significance. So far in 2025, 12 airlines have joined the Kingdom's air connectivity programme, introducing 20 new international routes and adding 1.5 million seats to the network. Participating carriers include ITA Airways, British Airways, Wizz Air, and Eurowings. Several of the new connections focus on Europe. Germany's Stuttgart has been added to the growing list of cities with direct flights to Jeddah, alongside Berlin and Cologne. Transavia, the France-based carrier, will soon operate flights from Paris and Lyon. In the United Kingdom, daily flights from London's Gatwick Airport to Madinah are scheduled to begin in August, contributing 180,000 seats to the Umrah travel system. The expansion reflects Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to facilitate religious tourism and improve access to holy sites as part of Vision 2030, which seeks to increase the number of annual Umrah visitors to 30 million.

Gold Surpasses Euro as Second Most Important Reserve Asset Globally, Says ECB
Waleed Farouk Recent data released by the European Central Bank (ECB) reveals that gold has overtaken the euro to become the second most important global reserve asset among central banks, driven by record-breaking purchases and sustained price surges. According to the report, gold accounted for approximately 20% of total official global reserves in 2024, surpassing the euro's share of 16%. The U.S. dollar maintained its lead with a dominant 46% share. The ECB noted that central banks continued to acquire gold at an unprecedented pace for the third consecutive year, with total purchases exceeding 1,000 tonnes in 2024. This volume represents about one-fifth of the world's annual gold production and is double the average annual purchases recorded over the past decade. Central bank gold holdings are now nearing historic highs not seen since the Bretton Woods era following World War II, when the U.S. dollar was convertible to gold at a fixed rate. At that time, global gold reserves peaked at around 38,000 tonnes in the mid-1960s. In comparison, reserves stood at approximately 36,000 tonnes in 2024. India, China, Turkey, and Poland were among the largest gold buyers last year, according to the World Gold Council. A 30% increase in gold prices during 2024, followed by a further 27% rise since the beginning of 2025—pushing prices to a record high of $3,500 per ounce—has also contributed to gold's growing share in global reserves. "The substantial volume of gold holdings, coupled with soaring prices, has elevated gold to the position of the second most valuable reserve asset globally, trailing only the U.S. dollar," the ECB said. Despite offering no yield and incurring storage costs, gold remains a highly liquid and secure asset. It is immune to counterparty risks and international sanctions, making it particularly attractive in times of global uncertainty. The report highlighted that the trend toward reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar has intensified since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the subsequent wave of Western financial sanctions. In response, many nations—especially developing economies and those with close geopolitical ties to China and Russia—have boosted their gold reserves as a safeguard against potential sanctions. An ECB analysis found that in five of the ten largest annual increases in gold's share of reserves since 1999, the countries involved had faced sanctions in that year or the previous one. A survey of 57 central banks holding gold indicated that concerns over sanctions, shifts in the global monetary order, and the desire to reduce dollar dependency were key motivations for increased gold purchases, particularly among emerging and developing economies. The ECB concluded that the traditional inverse relationship between gold prices and real yields on other assets has broken down since 2022. Gold is increasingly viewed not just as a hedge against inflation but also as a strategic buffer against geopolitical risk. In closing, the ECB noted that previous gold price booms were typically accompanied by increased supply. If official sector demand remains strong, it could incentivize higher global gold production in the coming years. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
