Saudi Arabia’s consumer price inflation eased slightly in October 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.7%, down from 1.9% in September 2026. The latest figures, updated on 15 November 2026, indicate a modest cooling in price pressures compared with the previous month.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels with the same month a year earlier. The step down from 1.9% to 1.7% suggests that, while prices continue to rise, the pace of inflation has moderated as the final quarter of 2026 begins. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming data closely to see whether this trend of easing inflation continues into the remainder of the year.
