RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s non-oil exports have surged to their highest quarterly level since 2017, reaching SR97.5 billion ($25.9 billion) in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to official data.
Figures released by the General Authority for Statistics showed a 114 percent increase compared to eight years earlier, and an 18.6 percent growth year on year.
The machinery, electrical equipment and parts sector emerged as the top performer in the final three months of 2025, accounting for 23.2 percent of total non-oil exports and a 78.6 percent increase year on year.
The rise in non-oil exports underscores progress under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 program, which aims to diversify the economy by reducing reliance on crude oil revenues and increase the contribution of non-oil exports to non-oil gross domestic product to 50 percent by 2030.
GASTAT’s data showed that the Kingdom’s ratio of non-oil exports to imports increased to 39.4 percent in the final quarter of 2025, up from 34.8 percent a year earlier.
