IMF raises Saudi Arabia’s 2027 growth forecast to 5.5% on resilience outlook

RIYADH: The International Monetary Fund has raised Saudi Arabia’s economic growth forecast for 2027 to 5.5 percent, up from the 4.5 percent it projected in April, as the Kingdom is expected to be less affected by regional disruptions due to its diversified export routes. The revised forecast, published in the IMF’s July 2026 World Economic Outlook Update, point to a temporary slowdown in Saudi Arabia’s economy this year before a stronger rebound in 2027.
