RIYADH: Saudi non-oil exports hit their highest-ever monthly level in June 2021, after reaching SR23.5 billion ($6.2bn), the Saudi Export Development Authority (Saudi Exports) said in a statement.

Exports in June went up by 40 percent from a year ago, when the country shipped exports with total value of SR16.8 billion, it said. 

The number in June includes exports of products worth SR21 billion, while the country made SR2.5 billion in re-exports of goods.
