S&P also sees non-oil growth being supported by growing investments in tourism, logistics, and manufacturing, alongside the recalibration of giga-project timelines to avoid overheating the economy. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Oil reserves are still key to keeping the economy on an even keel: <\/strong>The Kingdom\u2019s vast hydrocarbon reserves and low-cost production have so far acted as a buffer against the effects of global energy transitions. As the world\u2019s largest swing oil exporter, the country is likely to retain its influence over global oil markets even \u201cin a future scenario where fossil fuel demand will largely be met by a smaller number of the most efficient producers,\u201d according to S&P. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>And to support spending on diversification plans: <\/strong>The hydrocarbon sector has been a key source of funding for diversification plans, with the government earmarking performance-linked dividends from Aramco towards powering infrastructure investments. The oil major\u2019s decision early this year to shelve plans to increase its maximum sustainable capacity target should lower its capex and possibly lead to greater dividend payouts. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite an expected uptick in leveraging to finance megaprojects, Saudi\u2019s net asset<\/strong> <strong>position is expected to \u201cremain comfortably strong\u201d into 2027<\/strong>, S&P Global said. Saudi\u2019s net asset position is seen as holding above 40% of GDP for the next few years \u2014 down from an estimated 60% in 2023 \u2014 even with more borrowing by the government and PIF. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia has rescheduled some of its project timelines to avoid overburdening its finances. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Some risk remains: <\/strong>A sharper-than-expected fall in oil prices could challenge the positive outlook. Falling oil revenues could interfere with the implementation of diversification plans by placing a strain on public finances, supply chains, as well as the availability of skills, infrastructure, and housing. Slower GDP growth and an increase in geopolitical instability could also lead to a downward revision to outlook and ratings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But there\u2019s promising momentum ahead: <\/strong>S&P sees continued reforms boosting GDP per capita, with non-oil sectors expanding rapidly.
