    How the figures are checked
    The platform carries the official data as published, with no assumed estimates.Read more

    The only calculations are percentages, year-on-year rates, the totalling of sector spending, and large-enterprise expenses worked out by subtracting small and medium enterprises from the grand total. Every record is checked automatically on each refresh, and the refresh stops if a total leaves its range:

    • ✓Sector revenue on DataSaudi matches the GASTAT bulletins for 2024 (17 of 17 sectors).
    • ✓The accounting identity holds: operating expenses + employee compensation + operating surplus = operating revenue, in 313 of 313 activities.
    • ✓Total point-of-sale sales for July 2026 (SAR 62.9 billion) fall inside the published range.
    • ✓Total bank credit (SAR 3.43 trillion) falls inside the published range, with the «total» row excluded so nothing is counted twice.

    The search maps everyday words to the national economic activity classification (ISIC4) used by GASTAT, and shows the result under its official name.

    The data is pulled automatically from DataSaudi and the GASTAT bulletins, and every release is kept in the Riyal Business archive.
