Saudi Arabia leads in IMF growth projections for 2022, 2023

Saudi Arabia led the Middle East and Central Asia in the IMF’s World Economic Outlook growth projections for 2022 and 2023.

The Kingdom, the Arab world’s largest economy and world-leading exporter of crude oil, is forecast to grow 7.6 percent after expanding 3.2 percent last year.

The IMF estimates Saudi Arabia’s growth to reach 3.7 percent in 2023.

Meanwhile, “global inflation has been revised up due to food and energy prices as well as lingering supply-demand imbalances, and is anticipated to reach 6.6 percent in advanced economies and 9.5 percent in emerging market and developing economies this year—upward revisions of 0.9 and 0.8 percentage point, respectively.”
