Saudi Arabia’s trade surplus narrowed sharply to SAR 19.8 billion in March 2025, down from SAR 30.1 billion in the same month last year. It marked the smallest trade surplus since December, as exports plunged while imports edged up.

China remained the top destination for Saudi exports, representing 15.5% of the total, followed by India (9.4%) and Japan (8.7%).
