Non-oil GDP expanded by 3.7%, compared with 4.7% in the final quarter of 2021.

Saudi Arabia is the world's biggest oil exporter and has benefited from a price surge in the past year, first due to demand recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and then to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Brent is up 38% in 2022 to $107 a barrel, having climbed 50% last year.

OPEC+, a group of oil exporters led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, has also been increasing production. Riyadh pumped 10.3 million barrels a day of crude in March, the most since April 2020.
