In a significant economic shift, Saudi Arabia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 0.0% in July 2025, marking a halt in inflation for the month. This latest update, released on August 14, 2025, reveals a notable change from the 0.2% rate recorded in June.
The decline to a 0.0% CPI indicates that price levels were stable month-over-month in July compared to the slight increase observed in June. The month-over-month comparison highlights how inflationary pressures have softened, potentially signaling a stabilization in consumer prices across the kingdom's economy.
As global economic dynamics continue to evolve, Saudi Arabia's zero percent CPI reading will be closely monitored by investors and policymakers. It suggests that recent measures or market conditions might be effective in controlling inflation, providing a temporary reprieve for consumers affected by fluctuating prices in the past months.
