Saudi non-oil sector resilient amid challenges: World Bank
Safaa El Tayeb El-Kogali, the World Bank's Country Director for the GCC Countries, said that the outlook for Saudi Arabia's economy in 2025 is broadly positive, with growth projected at 2.8%, gradually strengthening to 4.6% by 2027. This anticipated increase is expected to be supported by the phase out of OPEC+ production cuts, which will benefit the oil sector, alongside continued strength in non-oil activities, she added, in an interview with Argaam. The performance of Saudi Arabia's non-oil sector in 2024 stands out as a key highlight. While the oil sector faced headwinds from global production dynamics, the non-oil economy maintained strong growth at 4.3%. This resilience reflects the progress made in diversifying the economic base and enhancing the role of services and domestic consumption, said El-Kogali. She added that the non-oil sector will likely remain a key driver of growth, buoyed by government initiatives to enhance infrastructure, attract investment, and promote private sector development. She also indicated that the fiscal deficit widened in 2024, partly due to sustained public expenditure and fluctuating oil revenues, noting that, nonetheless, inflation remained low and stable, helping to maintain consumer purchasing power and macroeconomic stability. According to El-Kogali, the private sector is expected to become the main engine of sustainable growth in Saudi Arabia. To enable this, the government plays a critical role in creating the right conditions—through investment in infrastructure, human capital, and institutional reforms. The World Bank findings indicate that government consumption spending has a positive but relatively modest effect on non-hydrocarbon output, with fiscal multipliers ranging between 0.1 and 0.45 across GCC countries. These fiscal multipliers tend to be higher during economic downturns, highlighting the role of government spending as a stabilizing force when growth slows, said the top official. On the other hand, government investment spending shows a smaller immediate impact, with a marginal increase in potential output estimated at around 0.07% for each one-percentage-point rise in investment, which is in line with literature, she added. However, El-Kogali warned that Saudi Arabia faces both short-term and long-term challenges to sustaining growth, saying that, in the short term, global trade and economic uncertainty, fluctuating oil prices and production levels, and the potential spillovers from regional conflicts pose key risks to stability and growth momentum. Meanwhile, over the longer term, structural vulnerabilities remain, mainly the continued dependence on hydrocarbon revenues, and the persistent decline in productivity, which poses a challenge to competitiveness and economic diversification. Addressing these issues through targeted reforms, innovation, and skills development will be essential to achieving the Kingdom's long-term growth objectives, she added.

Saudi FDI net inflows jump 44% in Q1 to $5.9bn
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia attracted SR22.2 billion ($5.9 billion) in net foreign direct investment in the first quarter of 2025, up 44 percent year on year, driven by rising inflows and sharply lower capital outflows. According to figures released by the General Authority for Statistics, this compares to SR15.5 billion during the same period last year. The figure, however, marked a 7 percent drop from the final quarter of 2024, when inflows totaled SR24.0 billion. Gross inflows — the total foreign capital entering the Kingdom — stood at SR24 billion, up 24 percent from SR19.4 billion in the first quarter of 2024, but down 6 percent from the SR25.6 billion recorded in the preceding quarter. Net FDI reflects the actual retained investment after subtracting outflows such as dividends, loan repayments, or capital exits — making it a more accurate indicator of lasting foreign capital in the economy. The FDI boost coincides with Saudi Arabia's growing appeal among global investors. In April, the Kingdom climbed to a record 13th place in Kearney's 2025 Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index while maintaining its rank as the third most attractive emerging market, underscoring strong investor confidence. In its latest release, GASTAT stated: 'The volume of outflows amounted to about SAR 1.8 billion during Q1 of 2025. It achieved a decrease of 54% compared to Q1 of 2024, where the volume of outflows reached SAR 3.9 billion.' The report noted that this represented a 7 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2024, when outflows stood at SR1.7 billion. The narrowing gap between inbound and outbound foreign capital underscores the resilience of the Kingdom's investment environment amid ongoing economic transformation efforts. It also reflects a growing trend of multinational companies establishing regional headquarters in the Kingdom. Under new localization rules linked to government contracts, several global firms have set up or expanded their presence in Riyadh. In March, Dell Technologies became one of the latest tech giants to open a regional office in the Saudi capital, joining companies such as PepsiCo, Schneider Electric, Morgan Stanley, PwC, and Deloitte — all of which have ramped up operations to tap into the Kingdom's rapidly evolving market and $1.1 trillion giga-project pipeline. The Kingdom's performance comes against a backdrop of global declines in foreign direct investment. According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development, inward FDI inflows in Saudi Arabia fell 31 percent in 2024 to $15.73 billion, while outflows rose 27.1 percent to $22.04 billion. The report attributed the downturn to persistent trade tensions, geopolitical uncertainty, and weakening investor sentiment worldwide. Earlier this month, S&P Global said it expects FDI into Gulf Cooperation Council countries to slow further in 2025, citing lower oil prices and a more gradual rollout of economic diversification plans across the region.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia's overall unemployment rate dropped to 2.8 percent in the first quarter of 2025, down 0.7 percentage points from the previous quarter, official data showed. According to figures released by the General Authority for Statistics, the jobless rate also declined by 0.7 points year on year. The labor force participation rate for both Saudis and non-Saudis increased to 68.2 percent, marking a rise of 1.8 points from the previous quarter and 2.2 points from the same period last year. The Kingdom's strengthening labor market aligns with Vision 2030, the nation's strategic roadmap focused on creating job opportunities for citizens and driving economic growth. Curbing joblessness remains a core pillar of the broader socio-economic reform agenda. In its latest release, GASTAT stated: 'The employment-to-population ratio for Saudis increased by 0.5 percentage points compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, reaching 48.0 percent, and increased by 0.5 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2024.' Among Saudi nationals, the jobless rate fell to 6.3 percent in the first quarter — a 0.7-point drop from the earlier quarter and 1.3 points lower year on year. Participation in the workforce among Saudis edged up to 51.3 percent, a quarterly improvement of 0.2 points. To support job seekers and streamline employment efforts, the Kingdom continues to promote digital platforms such as Jadarat, a unified national system for connecting Saudis to job opportunities. The share of Saudi women engaged in the labor force rose to 36.3 percent in the first quarter, up 0.3 percentage points from the preceding quarter. 'Additionally, the employment to population ratio of Saudi females increased by 0.7 percentage points, reaching 32.5 percent. At the same time, the unemployment rate of Saudi females decreased by 1.4 percentage points, recording 10.5 percent, compared to the previous quarter of 2024,' GASTAT added. Among Saudi men, participation in economic activity increased slightly to 66.4 percent, while their unemployment rate declined by 0.3 percentage points to 4.0 percent. GASTAT's report also revealed that 94.8 percent of unemployed Saudis are open to working in the private sector. Of these, 76.1 percent of women and 86.3 percent of men expressed willingness to work at least eight hours a day. Additionally, 58.7 percent of Saudi women seeking employment and 40.4 percent of their male counterparts expressed willingness to commute for one hour or more to reach their workplace. Alongside the survey findings, GASTAT also published register-based labor market statistics for the same timeframe. The number of Saudis registered with the General Organization for Social Insurance and the Civil Service rose to 2.92 million in the first quarter of 2025, up from 2.89 million in the previous quarter. Of these, 2.42 million were employed in the private sector and 492,620 in the public sector. Meanwhile, the total number of registered workers in the Kingdom — including Saudis and non-Saudis — increased to 12.8 million, compared to 12.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
