Saudi Arabia's finance minister said on Monday there were no immediate plans to transfer funds to the Kingdom's sovereign wealth fund, the PIF.

Fluctuations in oil prices will not impact how Saudi Arabia manages its finances, Finance Minister Mohammed al-Jadaan said at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Saudi inflation at the end of this year is expected to reach between 2.1% and 2.3%, he added.
