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 increasing non-oil activity in nations including Saudi Arabia, according to an analysis.

The World Bank's newest forecast 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 stated: "Development in GCC countries is forecast to increase to 4.4 percent in 2026 and 4.6 percent in 2027, primarily reflecting a stable growth of non-hydrocarbon activity, in addition to a further increase in hydrocarbon production." It included: "The fortifying of non-hydrocarbon activity accounting for more than 60 percent of GCC countries' overall GDP is forecasted to be supported by anticipated massive financial investments, including in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia." Broadening the non-oil sector remains a core goal of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program, as the Kingdom continues efforts to minimize its long-standing dependence on crude incomes.
