IMF Raises Saudi Arabia’s 2025 Growth Forecast to 4 %

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised upward its forecast for Saudi Arabia’s GDP growth in 2025 to 4 %, up from the previous 3 %. Reuters+1 The adjustment reflects a swifter-than-expected easing of oil production cuts and stronger performance in the non-oil sectors. Reuters+1

This optimistic outlook extends to 2026, with growth similarly projected at 4 %. Arab News The upgrade underscores increasing confidence in Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification agenda under Vision 2030, and the resilience of its fiscal strategy even amid global uncertainties. Arab News+1

  • A stronger growth rate boosts investor confidence in both domestic and foreign capital flows.
  • It gives more leeway for public investment in infrastructure, culture, and social projects.
  • It validates Saudi efforts to reduce dependence on oil by enhancing sectors like tourism, tech, and entertainment.
