The Saudi Central Bank issued this circular directing all regulated financial institutions and the Saudi Credit Bureau to coordinate with the General Secretariat of the National Committee for Combating Narcotics when developing preventive programs. It mandates that any similar initiatives be officially branded under the "NEBRAS" (National Drug Prevention Project) banner to ensure unified national efforts and seamless integration with the committee's activities. This directive implements the Crown Prince's instructions to standardize preventive messaging and eliminate fragmented outreach across the Kingdom.
