Saudi Arabia's real GDP grew by 3.0% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same quarter of 2025, supported by growth in both oil and non-oil activities.
The GCC economy expanded in the third quarter of 2025, reflecting its sustained ability to balance the role of the oil sector while enhancing the contribution of non-oil activities to gross domestic product (GDP), said a report. Its real GDP for the period soared to hit $474 billion, up 5.2% over Q3 2024.
