Introduction

spreadsheet format that could be downloaded from GASTAT website.

This report presents an analytical overview of the developments in foreign trade of the Kingdom of

Saudi Arabia in goods for December 2019, the month with the most recent data available, with the

help of summary tables and charts. It includes time series data for the main indicators covering the

past 13 months to observe the latest trends and also provides comparisons with the same month of the

previous year, December 2018, under various classifications to trace the changes in exports and

imports from different perspectives.

GaStat is pleased to thank all those who contributed to this work including all concerned parties, as

their cooperation has greatly influenced the release of this bulletin. For comments or suggestions,

kindly send them via e-mail to [email protected] as they may improve the content of the bulletin and

further develop future bulletins.

The data, which are collected from the Saudi Customs and the Ministry of Energy, Industry, and

Mineral Resources, go through a comprehensive process at GaStat before summarized into tables and

charts in this report, as expressed in the Methodology section. It is worth mentioning that the statistics

presented in this report are preliminary, and they might be modified in the next issues of the report in

case there is an update to the information. Sometimes, differences in aggregates or percentages occur

as a result of rounding numbers.

Because of the important role that oil exports play in the Saudi economy, total exports are divided

into oil exports and non-oil exports and analyzed separately. Non-oil exports as well as imports are

further broken down under various classifications, such as sections, groups of countries, partner

countries, transportation means, and customs ports. In addition to the summary tables presented

throughout the report, tables with detail data are made available in the attached annex in

3.2 National Exports:

The report of "Merchandise Exports and Imports of The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia" depends on

administrative records of Saudi Arabia's foreign trade in goods, provided to GaStat by concerned

governmental entities in order to use them in calculating the foreign trade statistics and indicators and

release them in this report. Administrative records mean data and information that are registered and

updated by governmental entities concerned with exports and imports of goods, and result from the

operation of official electronic registration and documentation of these entities.

GaStat's statistics on merchandise exports and imports are currently built upon the records from the

following two governmental entities:

- The Ministry of Energy, Industry, and Mineral Resources: The data source for oil exports.

- Saudi Customs: The data source for non-oil merchandise exports and imports.

Contributing to the creation of a commercial policy to protect and encourage local goods and

industries competing with imported ones.

Developing important economic indicators for the components of national accounts and balance

of payments.

Identifying key goods imported from or exported to each partner country.

Identifying the amount of trade surplus or deficit between Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Following up with the changes in the movement of exports and imports between Saudi Arabia

and major partner countries within two different periods of time.

Description

The statistics on merchandise exports and imports cover all goods (oil and non-oil exports as well

as imports) passing through customs ports in Saudi Arabia.

The statistics on merchandise exports and imports are collected from administrative records on a

monthly basis according to the Gregorian calendar.

Saudi Arabia's exports and imports are classified according to the Harmonized Commodity Description

and Coding Systems (2017), also known as the Harmonized System (HS), which is maintained by the

World Customs Organization (WCO). The HS allows countries to classify traded products in an

internationally standardized system of product names and codes.

The records received from Saudi Customs and the Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources

are saved in the databases of GaStat and are audited and reviewed in accordance with the scientific

statistical methods and quality standards recognized in coordination with the entity issuing the data.
