12:38 AM EDT, 10/07/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Saudi Arabian construction sector continued to grow in September, although at a softer rate as clients' slower decision-making and rising cost inflation offset strong demand for large-scale construction projects, alrajhi capital and S&P Global said Wednesday.

The reading marks the sector's expansion for the fifth consecutive month.
