2025年4月,沙特阿拉伯的贸易顺差从去年同期的370亿沙特里亚尔大幅收窄至142亿沙特里亚斯。这是自去年12月以来贸易顺差最小的一次,因为出口大幅下降,进口激增。出口同比暴跌10.9%,至903亿沙特里亚尔的七个月低点,原因是石油出口下滑21.2%,占总出口的68.6%。与此同时,非石油出口增长了24.6%。中国仍然是沙特出口的最大目的地,占出口总额的12.6%,其次是日本(10.1%)和阿联酋(9.8%)。与此同时,由于机械、电气设备和零部件采购激增(25.4%),占进口总额的27.7%,进口额跃升18.3%,达到761亿沙特里亚尔。此外,运输设备和零部件进口激增64.5%,占进口总额的17.2%。在主要供应商中,中国也占据了最大的进口份额,为25.0%,其次是美国(7.5%)和阿联酋(6.8%)。
Saudi Arabia’s trade surplus narrowed sharply to SAR 14.2 billion in April 2025, down from SAR 37.0 billion in the same month last year. It marked the smallest trade surplus since December, as exports slumped while imports surged. Exports plunged 10.9% yoy to a seven-month low of SAR 90.3 billion, due to a 21.2% slump in oil exports, which accounted for 68.6% of total exports. Meanwhile, non-oil exports jumped by 24.6%. China remained the top destination for Saudi exports, representing 12.6% of the total, followed by Japan (10.1%) and the UAE (9.8%). Meanwhile, imports jumped by 18.3% to SAR 76.1 billion, boosted by a surge in purchases of machinery, electrical equipment, and parts (25.4%), which constituted 27.7% of total imports. Also, transportation equipment and parts imports soared by 64.5%, which represented 17.2% of total imports. Among the major suppliers, China also held the largest share of imports at 25.0%, followed by the US (7.5%) and the UAE (6.8%).
