Saudi Arabia's megaproject Neom is seeking to raise 10 billion riyals ($2.7bn) in loans, according to a report in Bloomberg published on Monday. The early stages of the $500bn planned city will be financed by money raised from local lenders, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Bloomberg. Banks are currently in negotiations with Neom, and the loan could be completed in the next few months.

The company is also planning to raise a further 3 billion riyals ($800m) from local banks for the development of Shushah Island, the reports said. The island is planned as a luxury destination which Neom says will host the world's largest coral garden.
