Pourquoi c’est important
The yearly rate is less noisy than the quarterly change and is the figure most people mean by "economic growth". It shapes the earnings outlook for local companies, tax revenue, and the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA)'s view of how much spare capacity the economy has.
Mode de calcul
the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) compares real GDP (after inflation) with the same quarter or year before; full-year figures sum the four quarters.
Growth (yoy) = real GDP ÷ real GDP a year ago − 1Ce que signifient les variations
- Growth above the country's trend (about 1–2% for advanced economies, more for emerging ones) tends to raise inflation pressure.
- Annual growth turns only slowly; the quarterly figure shows turning points earlier.
Supérieur aux attentes : A stronger figure than expected points to a healthier economy: it usually supports the Saudi riyal and local stocks, and can push bond yields up.
Inférieur aux attentes : A weaker figure than expected points to slowing activity: the Saudi riyal tends to soften and markets price in lower rates.
Un bref historique
Annual national accounts spread after the Second World War under the UN System of National Accounts (first edition 1953).
The riyal is pegged to the US dollar, so Saudi rates follow the Fed.
