Exports in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia - Exports
GDP expanded for the first time since Q2 2019 in the second quarter of this year, according to a flash estimate. The rebound was primarily the result of a weaker contraction in the oil sector, which was consistent with OPEC+’s decision to ease output cuts since May. Moreover, growth in the non-oil sector surged in the second quarter. The real estate market, wholesale and retail trade, and the manufacturing sectors were particularly strong in Q2. Turning to Q3, GDP growth should be gaining steam as OPEC+’s commitment to lower production cuts continues to fuel the oil sector: Crude oil output hit the highest level since April 2020 in July, and it should remain on the up in the rest of the quarter. Meanwhile, the non-oil private sector PMI remained comfortably in expansionary territory in July and August, signaling strong growth in the non-oil economy.Saudi Arabia - Exports Data
