据油价网8月1日报道，根据路透社援引的初步数据，沙特第二季度的GDP增长率为11.8%，这得益于石油收入增长23.1%。
5月份的最新月度数据显示，5月份同比增长106%至1162亿里亚尔，石油出口占该月沙特所有出口的80.6%。
作为欧佩克最大的石油生产国，沙特最近成为关注焦点，它是少数几个可能拥有备用石油生产能力来弥补产能大国供应损失的欧佩克成员国之一。
然而，沙特一直不愿利用这一闲置产能，该国王储萨勒曼上个月表示，“沙特王国将在这方面（增加全球供应）尽自己的一份力量，因为它宣布将其生产能力提高到每天1300万桶，之后王国将没有任何额外的能力来增加产量”。
然而，在此之前，沙特一直在开采石油，而且它对原油的要价很高。据彭博社最近报道，沙特今年数次上调官方售价，并可能再次上调至历史新高。
对五家炼油商进行的一项调查显示，沙特可能会将旗舰混合油阿拉伯轻质的价格调至在9月份运往亚洲的迪拜/阿曼基准价格之上，最高上调至每桶10.80美元。
与此同时，交易商预计，在过去几个月炼油厂保持其设施以最高速度运行后，亚洲对石油的需求可能会在下个月开始减弱。
尽管努力使该国的海外收入来源多样化，但石油仍然是沙特的主要出口商品。

Saudi Arabia’s Economy Grows 12% In Q2 On High Oil Prices
Saudi Arabia recorded a GDP growth rate of 11.8 percent for the second quarter, driven by a 23.1-percent rise in oil income, according to preliminary data cited by Reuters.
The latest monthly data, for May, revealed a 106-percent increase on the year to SR116.2 billion, with oil exports making up 80.6 percent of all exports out of Saudi Arabia in that month.
Saudi Arabia, OPEC’s biggest oil producer, was recently put in the spotlight as one of the few OPEC members that may have the spare oil production capacity to make up for lost Russian supply.
The Kingdom, however, has been reluctant to tap this spare capacity, with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the de facto ruler of the country, saying last month that “The Kingdom will do its part in this regard [boosting global supply], as it announced an increase in its production capacity to 13 million barrels per day, after which the Kingdom will not have any additional capacity to increase production.”
Until that happens, however, Saudi Arabia is pumping, and it is asking top dollar for its crude. The Kingdom lifted its official selling prices several times this year and might hike them again to record highs, Bloomberg reported recently.
A poll among five refiners suggested that the Saudis could hike the price for Arab Light, the flagship blend, to as much as $10.80 per barrel above the Dubai/Oman benchmark for September loadings to Asia.
Meanwhile, traders expect that demand for oil from Asia might begin to soften next month after refiners have kept their facilities running at maximum rates over the past few months.
Oil remains Saudi Arabia’s top export commodity despite efforts being made to diversify the country’s revenue streams from abroad.
