The International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised today, Oct. 14, its forecast for Saudi Arabia’s economic growth in 2025 to 4%, up from the July estimate of 3.6%.

 

According to the fund, these projections reflect a faster-than-expected easing of oil production cuts.

 

It also raised its 2026 growth forecast for the Saudi economy to 4%, compared with its earlier July projection of 3.9%.

 

The IMF’s quarterly Global Economic Outlook report predicted global GDP growth at 3.2% for 2025, up from its July forecast of 3% and the 2.8% estimate issued in April.
