Saudi Arabia’s gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 1.5% year-on-year (YoY) by the end of Q2 2021, data issued by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) showed.
This positive growth is the first since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authority said.
It further attributed the growth to the increase in non-oil activities by 10.1%, in addition to the 0.7% rise in government activities, while oil activities witnessed a decrease of 7%.
The seasonally adjusted real GDP increased by 1.1% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) in Q2 2021.
As of Q3 2020, GASTAT began publishing flash quarterly GDP estimates to provide timely information on the Saudi economy to decision makers and users.
