What the numbers say
In 2025, Saudi Arabia's gross savings (current LCU) fell 3.2% on 2024 (from 1.43 trillion to 1.38 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +15.4% and a typical year strayed about 34.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 360.7% in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was 43.5% in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 100.68 billion a year. A straight line explains 59% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Savings is an amount that represents the part of disposable income (adjusted for the change in pension entitlements) that is not spent on final consumption. Gross savings are calculated as gross national income less total consumption, plus net transfers. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
