They were a stress test of Saudi Arabia’s entire transformation model.</p> <p>Aramco reported <strong>$33.6 billion in adjusted net income</strong> for Q1 2026, up from $26.6 billion a year earlier, with <strong>$30.7 billion in operating cash flow</strong>, <strong>$18.6 billion in free cash flow</strong>, <strong>$12.1 billion in capital expenditure</strong>, and a <strong>$21.9 billion base dividend</strong> declared for the quarter. The same official release said Aramco’s <strong>East-West Pipeline reached its maximum capacity of 7.0 million barrels per day</strong>, supporting crude exports through Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast as disruption hit the Strait of Hormuz. <a href="https://www.aramco.com/en/news-media/news/2026/aramco-announces-first-quarter-2026-results">Aramco Q1 2026 results</a></p>https://vision2030.ai/tracker/priorities/fiscal-sustainability/Sun, 22 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://vision2030.ai/tracker/priorities/fiscal-sustainability/<h2 id="fiscal-sustainability-scorecard-kpi">Fiscal Sustainability Scorecard KPI</h2> <p>For full strategic analysis, see the <a href="https://vision2030.ai/vision/priority-fiscal-sustainability/">fiscal sustainability priority</a>.

Non-oil revenue has surged from SAR 166 billion to SAR 402 billion, a 142 percent increase driven by VAT implementation at 15 percent, expatriate levies, government service fees, dividend income from <a href="https://vision2030.ai/institutions/pif/">PIF</a> investments, and improved tax administration. This structural shift has fundamentally changed the revenue composition of the Saudi state.</p>
