A few weeks ago, the Saudi government decided to triple the length of its border security barrier from approximately 2,000 km ( Iraq and Yemen ) to about 6,000 km to additionally cover Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman and Gulf and Red Sea coasts. HSRC forecasts that this first stage (radar virtual barrier) will cost about $10 billion to implement (including the procurement of radar and C3I stations). Yet the total market cost of the Saudi project will come, in our assessment to around $40 billion, and will be completed by around 2018.
