In a post on the social media platform X, the ministry said this outlook is supported by strong private-sector momentum and expanding non-oil activities, paving the way toward a more diversified, sustainable, and investment-attractive economy. <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" > G20 Economic Growth Forecasts for 2027 </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Saudi Arabia </td> <td > 7.9% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > India </td> <td > 7.0% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Indonesia </td> <td > 5.1% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > China </td> <td > 4.0% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Turkey </td> <td > 3.6% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Argentina </td> <td > 3.5% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > South Korea </td> <td > 2.8% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > US </td> <td > 2.3% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Brazil </td> <td > 1.9% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Mexico </td> <td > 1.8% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Canada </td> <td > 1.7% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Australia </td> <td > 1.6% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > South Africa </td> <td > 1.3% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > UK </td> <td > 1.2% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Germany </td> <td > 1.1% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Russia </td> <td > 0.9% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > France </td> <td > 0.7% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Japan </td> <td > 0.7% </td> </tr> <tr> <td > Italy </td> <td > 0.6% </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
