RIYADH: Economies throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council are forecast to grow 4.4 percent in 2026, speeding up to 4.6 percent in 2027, driven by rising non-oil activity in countries including Saudi Arabia, according to an analysis. In its International Economic Prospects report, the World Bank stated the Kingdom's genuine gdp is forecasted to grow 4.3 percent in 2026 and 4.4 percent in 2027, up from a predicted 3.8 percent in 2025.

Essential Capital Diversification in the Future

The World Bank's latest projection broadly aligns with the International Monetary Fund's October outlook, which projects Saudi Arabia's GDP to grow by about 4 percent in both 2025 and 2026. In its most current report, the World Bank said: "Growth in GCC nations is forecast to increase to 4.4 percent in 2026 and 4.6 percent in 2027, generally reflecting a steady expansion of non-hydrocarbon activity, in addition to a further increase in hydrocarbon production." It added: "The strengthening of non-hydrocarbon activity accounting for more than 60 percent of GCC nations' overall GDP is forecasted to be supported by expected massive financial investments, including in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia." Expanding the non-oil sector stays a core goal of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 agenda, as the Kingdom continues efforts to minimize its long-standing dependence on crude incomes.
