This statistic shows the main import partners of Saudi Arabia in 2023. In 2023, China was the most important import partner of Saudi Arabia with a share of 21 percent in Saudi Arabia's total imports. Saudi Arabia's trade policy Imports have been increasing steadily in Saudi Arabia over the last few years, but reduced a bit in the last year. This is likely due to the country having less disposable income because of falling crude oil prices in the region, resulting in slight reductions in export revenue. At present, the main import partners for Saudi Arabia include China, the United States, India, Germany, South Korea and Japan. All of these countries are located outside of the region, just like the leading export recipients. Almost all of Saudi Arabia’s import partners are also the country's main export partners, with the exception of Germany and Singapore. In general, it is obvious that Saudi Arabia supports bi-lateral trade opportunities on an international scale, but exclusively with countries from outside the region. This has been a source of resentment from neighboring countries, who have opposed the role of the United States in the Middle East, for example. Presently, with the war in Syria, tensions are rising due to differing opinions about what to do and who to support in the region - especially regarding relations with Iran. While these tensions will most likely not affect Saudi Arabia’s established trading relationships, they could cause further instability in the region and throughout the world.

This statistic shows the trade balance of goods of Saudi Arabia from 2014 to 2024. In 2024, Saudi Arabia's trade balance surplus amounted to approximately ***** billion years. Saudi Arabia's economic state Saudi Arabia’s positive trade balance dropped during the economic crisis, recovered thereafter, but has faltered somewhat in the past couple of years. This is likely due to a loss in export income associated with falling crude oil prices in the region. This has affected the economy and is expected to increase the country’s national debt. As a major oil producer and exporter, on the one hand Saudi Arabia needs to maintain international relations related to the export of its most precious resource, and on the other hand it needs to preserve stability in the region. For the most part, the country has been able to do so. Due to large oil reserves throughout the region, Saudi Arabia’s most important export partners include China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, India and Singapore. As one of the main oil producers worldwide and ranked among the countries with the largest GDP, Saudi Arabia remains one of the key players in the Muslim and Arab world. It is also home to the birthplace of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed, giving the country a special significance. However, as tension rise with Iran, an uneasy relationship based in religion, politics and history, preserving stability in the region and international relations may become a challenge.

This statistic shows Iran's main import partners in 2023, sorted by their share in total imports. In 2023, Iran's main import partner was the China with a share of 34 percent in all imports. Iran's struggling economy Iran’s main import partners in descending order of importance include the United Arab Emirates, China, Algeria, India, South Korea and Turkey. Together the United Arab Emirates and China compose over 50 percent of all imports. No European countries or the United States are close trade partners with Iran for neither imports nor exports. Iran has been isolated from the west with sanctions due to concerns over the country's role in the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction for decades. In 2011, further sanctions on Iran from the United States and Europe were agreed upon, which negatively affected Iran’s economy. This also had an effect on the value of totalimports into the country which also dropped slightly around the same period. This is likely due to the fact that Iran’s GDP per capita also reduced significantly thereafter, limiting the country’s capacity to import goods. Compared to the GDP per capita of Saudi Arabia, Iran’s is significantly lower. Aside from the Saudi Arabian oil trade, one difference could be attributed to the fact that Saudi Arabia, in contrast to Iran, has developed strong international ties and trades freely with Europe and the United States, whereas Iran remains isolated for the time being.
