Riyadh, The Gulf Observer: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has updated its growth forecast for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, presenting a more optimistic outlook for the nation’s economic trajectory. The revised projection estimates a robust growth rate of 5.5% for the Saudi economy in 2025, reflecting a notable increase from the previously anticipated 4.5% forecasted in October 2023.
