On 15 September, banking adviser Abdul Rahman al-Shikhli told Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) that some bank owners were not from the banking sector and that lost depositor confidence was constraining the economy. He also said 18 percent of each bank’s capital was deposited at the Central Bank. The statements were presented as al-Shikhli’s commentary rather than an AAH position.
