Saudi Arabia records highest-ever non-oil exports in June 2021
Saudi Arabia:
Saudi non-oil exports hit
their highest-ever monthly level in June 2021, after reaching SR23.5 billion
($6.2bn), the Saudi Export Development Authority (Saudi Exports) said in a
statement.
Exports in June went up by 40 percent from a year
ago, when the country shipped exports with total value of SR16.8 billion, it
said.
The number in June includes exports of products
worth SR21 billion, while the country made SR2.5 billion in re-exports of
goods.
This year Saudi exports continued rising above the
SR20 billion mark, the statement said. This comes at a time when the global
economy is recovering from the pandemic, while the number of Saudi plants kept
increasing beyond 10,000.
