Saudi Arabia: Jihad Al Rashid, the head of the Saudi National Committee for Cement Companies, has said that the local market only needs four large cement producers. He added that the industry does not need the 17 cement companies it has at present, according to the Al Eqtisadiah newspaper. The owners and shareholders of these companies are ‘seriously’ considering merger options. Al Rashid also said that the government and consumers would benefit from a consolidated industry.
