Analysis by Region - Emerging Markets - Saudi Arabia
Description
Saudi Arabia's economy expanded by 1.7% q/q in Q2, supportive of our full-year growth forecast of 4.2%, which remains unchanged since last month. Rising oil production underpinned the quarterly expansion, alongside gains in the utilities and petrochemical manufacturing sectors, which offset weaker government activity. We expect growth momentum to continue into next year, projecting an acceleration to 4.8% y/y in 2026.
