Last year, the Saudi economy was boosted by private consumption and non-oil investment. According to the IMF, the country is making progress in its diversification efforts. Non-oil GDP is expected to grow by 3.5% in 2024.

The Gulf state grossed USD 344.7 million from exports to Brazil year to date through July, up 78.5% compared to the same period in 2023. Exports from Brazil to Kuwait also stepped up but at a smaller pace and with a deficit balance.

Bahrain’s imports increased in July, and so did re-exports, in which a country exports goods that were previously imported. Top re-exports were private cars, gold ingots, and smartphones, according to a non-oil trade report.
