Yet the International Monetary Fund, assessing the kingdom in early June 2026, found that stability and stagnation can coexist: growth projections were cut from 3.1 to 2 percent, as non-oil sectors and business confidence absorbed the quiet damage that war inflicts even on those who are not its primary targets.

Regional instability reduces Saudi economic growth despite oil export dominance. Iran's military actions constrain Gulf shipping, shifting energy flows and reducing investor confidence.
