Saudi Arabia is the world's largest producer of oil, with oil production accounting for 46% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The services sector accounts for 36% of total wealth, which includes government services (13%), wholesale and retail commerce, restaurants and hotels (8%), and finance, insurance, and real estate (7.9%). Manufacturing (10%), building, power, gas, and water distribution (6%), and agriculture, forestry, and fishing (2%) are the other major industries.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the SAR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the SAR.
