According to the platform’s correspondent, recent data showed that inflation in Saudi Arabia has risen to 150% in recent years. Inflation stood at 74.7% last year, compared with 152% in 2026.

According to the data, inflation stood at 3.9% in the first quarter of this year and reached 7.1% in the second quarter of the same year. Reports also indicated that inflation reached 5.6% last March, reflecting a continued rise in prices.<\/p>\n
The report shows that prices rose sharply in some sectors, with some food items recording increases of up to 30.4%, while inflation in basic goods reached 62.3%, raising concerns among consumers and affecting their purchasing power.<\/p>\n
The report also indicated that inflation had eased slightly in recent months, reaching 4.1% in September, reflecting a slight improvement in economic conditions. However, inflation remains high compared with previous years, underscoring the need for effective government measures to address these economic challenges.<\/p>\n
In light of these developments, economic authorities confirmed that they are working to take the necessary measures to limit inflation’s impact on citizens by improving supply chains and providing basic goods at affordable prices.<\/p>\n
