The Saudi oil revenue is projected to reach $62.6 billion this year
which will be $7.4 billion less than last year, according to a report
of the American Energy Information Office. The real GDP growth this
year will be 2.1 percent, half of the previous year’s level. This
year the revenue is down because of the lower average oil price
compared to last year. The report also pointed to a balanced budget
this year. The report said the Kingdom topped the countries which
exported crude to the United States. It was followed by Venezuela and
Mexico.
