RIYADH: In comparison to its previous prognosis, which was 4.2% in January of this year, the World Bank has increased its projection for the expansion of the Saudi economy during the next year, 2025, by around 1.7%, bringing it up to 5.9%. When compared to its predictions in January of last year, which were 4.1%, the bank has decreased its forecast for the development of the Saudi economy during the year 2024 to 2.5%.

The bank also anticipated that the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Saudi Arabia would increase by 0.5% during the year 2024. They explained that this is a significant improvement in comparison to the contraction that occurred the previous year, which amounted to 2.8%.
