据三名熟悉此事的人士向路透社透露，包括摩根大通（JPM.N）和德国银行（DBKGn.DE）在内的全球金融公司，在胡塞武装的一系列袭击加剧了沙特王国的安全担忧后，已允许在沙特工作的员工居家办公。
Global finance firms including JPMorgan (JPM.N) and Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) are allowing Saudi Arabia-based staff to work from home after a series of Houthi strikes heightened security concerns in the kingdom, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
其中一名人士称，美国投资公司富兰克林·邓普顿（BEN.N）已暂时关闭其利雅得办事处，并要求所有在该地工作的员工在另行通知前居家办公。目前尚未确定这一新工作安排的结束日期。沙特政府周四尚未立即回应置评请求。
US investment firm Franklin Templeton (BEN.N) has temporarily closed its Riyadh office and asked all staff based there to work from home until further notice, one of the people said. No end date has been set for the new working arrangements. The Saudi government did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
华尔街银行花旗集团（C.N）本周早些时候表示，已允许员工居家办公。周二在财报电话会议结束后，首席财务官贡萨洛·卢切蒂对记者表示：“我们员工及其家人的安全始终是我们的首要任务。”
Wall Street bank Citi (C.N) said earlier this week that it was allowing employees to work from home. "The safety of our employees and the families of our employees have always been our top priority," CFO Gonzalo Luchetti told reporters after an earnings call on Tuesday.
这些举措是对过去一周胡塞武装对沙特阿拉伯袭击不断升级的回应，其中包括周二对石油巨头沙特阿美公司（2223.SE）总部的袭击，以及周六早些时候对利雅得国王哈立德国际机场的袭击。
The moves are in response to escalating Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia over the past week, including an attack on the headquarters of oil giant Saudi Aramco (2223.SE) on Tuesday and an earlier strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Saturday.
其中两名人士称，尽管机场袭击事件发生在周日，但摩根大通和德国银行均从当天起允许员工居家办公，不过两家银行的办公室仍对希望前往办公的员工开放。其中一人补充说，允许居家办公的灵活性部分是为了帮助家长，因为沙特本周已转为在线教学。
Both JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank offered staff home working from Sunday, the day after the airport attack, although both offices remain open for business for those who want to use them, two of the people said, with one adding that the flexibility to work from home had been introduced partly to help parents out since the kingdom moved to online schooling this week.
也门胡塞武装誓言将对沙特阿拉伯的机场和石油设施发动更多袭击，并称其袭击是对沙特对也门空袭的报复，而这场冲突因美国-以色列对伊朗的战争而不断扩大。
Yemen's Houthis vowed more attacks on airports and oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, describing their attacks as retaliation against Saudi strikes on Yemen in a widening of the conflict ignited by the US-Israeli war against Iran.
沙特阿拉伯的袭击事件扰乱了海湾地区繁忙的会议季，该会议季通常从9月持续到12月，以配合较为凉爽的天气。
The strikes in Saudi Arabia have disrupted the Gulf's busy conference season, which typically runs from September to December to coincide with cooler weather.
据路透社报道，沙特阿拉伯计划将本月晚些时候举行的旗舰活动“未来投资倡议”会议改为线上线下混合模式，让高管们可以选择远程参与。
Saudi Arabia plans to shift its flagship Future Investment Initiative conference later this month to a hybrid event, giving executives the option to tune in remotely, Reuters has reported.
