The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's flag
Saudi Arabia’s real GDP declined by 0.3% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, according to the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT).
Oil activities fell by 8.8% year-on-year (YoY), while non-oil activities increased by 4.9% YoY. Additionally, government activities grew by 3.8% YoY.
The authority also noted that it adopted a chain-linking method for national accounts for calculating real GDP, replacing the previous fixed-base year method. This new approach was used for the Q4 2023 and 2023 annual reports.
The chain-linking method is a dynamic approach for measuring economic growth rates, specifically for estimating real growth rates in national accounts.
It uses weights and prices from the previous year for the year of measurement, enabling assessments over consecutive periods and providing a more accurate reflection of current economic conditions.

*The chain-linking methodology is a non-additive model, meaning that the subcomponents do not necessarily sum up to the total.
