RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s non-oil exports, including re-exports, reached SR31.11 billion ($8.29 billion) in May, marking a 6 percent increase compared to the same month in 2024, official data showed.
Preliminary figures released by the General Authority for Statistics showed that the UAE remained the top destination for the Kingdom’s non-oil products, with exports to the Emirates amounting to SR9.54 billion in May.
India was the second-largest non-oil trade partner, importing goods worth SR2.78 billion, followed by China at SR2.03 billion, Bahrain at SR989.1 million, and Turkiye at SR924.7 million.
The rise in non-oil exports supports the goals of Vision 2030, which aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues.
In its latest report, GASTAT stated: “Non-oil exports in May, including re-exports, recorded an increase of 6 percent compared to May 2024, while national non-oil exports, excluding re-exports, decreased by 1.8 percent.”
