Data from the Saudi General Authority for Statistics showed that the consumer price index (CPI) rose year-on-year by 2.2 percent in October, compared to the same month in 2024.
The annual inflation rate in Saudi Arabia remained stable at 2.2 percent in October, after recording the same rate in September 2025.
According to the Authority, the increase in the inflation rate during the past month was mainly driven by a 4.5 percent increase in the prices of housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels, a 1.5 percent increase in food and beverages, and a 1.1 percent rise in restaurant and accommodation services.
