Saudi Arabia

Visão geral da economia e do setor

Saudi Arabia is the largest economy in the Arab world and the Middle East, with a nominal GDP of approximately USD 1.28 trillion in 2025. The economy is anchored by the hydrocarbon sector, with Saudi Aramco managing the world's largest proven oil reserves, though the government's Vision 2030 program is actively diversifying activity toward tourism, entertainment, technology, and financial services. The non-oil economy accounted for roughly 55 percent of real GDP in 2025, reflecting meaningful progress in diversification. The Public Investment Fund, one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, is a central vehicle for domestic investment and international asset allocation. Saudi Arabia is a founding member of OPEC and maintains a currency peg of 3.75 SAR per USD.
