Exports in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia - Exports
After expanding at the fastest pace in more than a decade during Q1, the economy is likely to remain at full throttle in Q2. Thanks to an increased OPEC+ quota, oil production rose to its highest level in two years during April. After slipping during that same month, oil prices then recorded their highest monthly average since 2011 in May. Rising oil prices are boosting the external and fiscal balances. However, this windfall is unlikely to boost GDP as much as in recent years. The government is concerned that as the world turns away from fossil fuels, this could be oil’s last great bull run. As a result, it is planning to plough money from this windfall into the country’s USD 600 billion sovereign wealth fund as part of its effort to diversify the economy. It will also use some of it to rebuild foreign exchange reserves and reduce public debt.Saudi Arabia - Exports Data
