IMF Video: لتقييم السنوي لصندوق النقد الدولي لعام 2024 للاقتصاد السعودي
شهدت المملكة العربية السعودية نمواً غير نفطي قوياً بنسبة 3.8% في عام 2023، مدفوعاً في الغالب بالاستهلاك الخاص والاستثمار. ومع ذلك، انكمش الاقتصاد بنسبة 0.8%، مما يعكس انخفاض إنتاج النفط والتخفيضات الطوعية لإنتاج النفط. يسير التحول الاقتصادي غير المسبوق في المملكة في ظل رؤية 2030 بشكل جيد، لكن المملكة لا تزال بحاجة إلى مواصلة زخمها الإصلاحي.
Saudi Arabia experienced robust non-oil growth of 3.8% in 2023, driven mostly by private consumption and investment. Still, the economy contracted by 0.8%, reflecting lower oil output and voluntary oil production cuts. The Kingdom's unprecedented economic transformation under Vision 2030 is progressing well, but the Kingdom still needs to continue its reform momentum.
