Comments

The data is published by the Saudi Central Dept. of Statistics and Information, https://www.cdsi.gov.sa/ We have population here in XLS format, till 2014, https://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=160

Here you can find GDP, also in XLS, but it is not updated quarterly as required, only yearly till 2014, https://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=151

Here is labor force data, for 1st half of 2015, in PDF file, https://www.cdsi.gov.sa/english/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=296&Itemid=162

As mentioned above, although the data exists, the GDP and Labour Data doesn't meet the above criterion of being updated Quarterly and Monthly respectively
