Saudi Arabia’s Economy to Grow 4.5% in 2026 on Strong Non-Oil Gains

Saudi Arabia is projected to achieve 4.5% economic growth in 2026, outpacing the global growth forecast of 3.4%, driven by steady performance in both the non-oil and hydrocarbon sectors, according to a Standard Chartered Global Research report.

The non-oil economy which encompasses services, manufacturing, construction, tourism, and other diversified sectors continues to gain momentum as Saudi Arabia advances its Vision 2030 strategy to reduce reliance on oil revenues while strengthening private sector activity and investment.

Mazen Bunyan, CEO of Standard Chartered Saudi Arabia, highlights that while oil prices face downside risks, sustained non-oil expansion will help underpin growth and financial stability throughout the next year.

This robust growth outlook places Saudi Arabia ahead of many major economies and reinforces the kingdom’s position as a regional economic leader in the Middle East.

What This Means for Investors & Businesses

The forecasted 4.5% growth in 2026 reflects Saudi Arabia’s successful push toward economic diversification a cornerstone of its long-term development plan. Expanded activity in sectors beyond oil is attracting foreign investment, creating business opportunities across industries such as technology, tourism, finance, and logistics.

For companies and investors looking to tap into Saudi Arabia’s expanding economy, expert guidance can make a significant difference.
