Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) has released its Industrial Production Index (IPI) report, revealing a 1.0% increase in IPI during August 2024 compared to the same month in 2023.

This growth was primarily driven by increased activity in mining and quarrying, manufacturing, and electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply.

While oil activities saw a slight decline of 1.4% in August 2024 compared to the same month in 2023, the non-oil activities index experienced a significant surge of 7.0% compared to the previous year.

GASTAT regularly publishes various statistical products related to the industrial sector.
