In June 2025, Saudi Arabia's annual wholesale price inflation rose to 2.1%, up from 2.0% for the preceding two months, reaching its highest level since October 2024. This increase was primarily fueled by a rise in prices for transportable goods, excluding metal products, machinery, and equipment, which climbed to 4.5% from May's 4.3%. Conversely, there was a slowdown in price growth for food products, beverages, tobacco, and textiles, which declined slightly to 0.2% from 0.3%. Prices for agricultural and fishery products held steady at a 4.4% increase. Meanwhile, there were price reductions for metal products, machinery, and equipment, which remained at -0.3%, and ores and minerals, which improved to -1.1% compared to -1.5% previously. On a monthly scale, wholesale prices decreased by 0.1% in June, following no change in May.
