Saudi Arabia: 2025 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; and Staff Report

International Monetary Fund

No 2025/223, IMF Staff Country Reports from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: As its economic diversification advances, Saudi Arabia has shown strong resilience to external shocks. Non-oil economic activities continue to expand, inflation is contained, and unemployment has fallen to record-low levels. While lower oil proceeds and investment-linked imports led to the emergence of twin deficits, the country maintains ample external and fiscal buffers.
