The lowdown on the Saudi Arabian Riyal

Economical Influences and the Saudi Arabian Riyal

If you are considering converting AUD to SAR, it’s good to get a snapshot of how the economy may influence the Saudi Arabian riyal.

Saudi Arabia’s economy relies primarily on their oil reserves, and owns about 16% of the world’s known oil.1 In fact, the petroleum sector is responsible for about 87% of Saudi Arabia’s budget revenues, 42% of its GDP, and 90% of its export earnings.1

In a bid to diversify their economy, Saudi Arabia is encouraging private sector growth and the employment of more Saudi nationals.1

After experiencing a budget deficit around 8.3% of GDP in 2017, and lowered oil prices in recent times, further diversification may be necessary for the Saudi economy to prosper. 1
