The inflation rate in Saudi Arabia stabilized at 2.3 percent in April, compared to April 2024, marking the second consecutive month of steady growth.

According to data from the General Authority for Statistics in Saudi Arabia, the 2.3 percent increase in inflation last month was primarily due to a 6.8 percent rise in housing, water, electricity, gas, and fuel prices; a 2.2 percent rise in food and beverage prices; and a 3.5 percent rise in miscellaneous goods and personal services prices. Meanwhile, transportation prices declined by 1.0 percent.
