FX.co ★ Saudi Arabia’s Inflation Edges Up to 1.8% in March on Annual Basis

Saudi Arabia’s consumer inflation inched higher in March 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 1.8%, up from 1.7% in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 15 April 2026, indicates a slight acceleration in price growth but still points to a relatively benign inflation environment.

The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning the March 2026 CPI is measured against March 2025 levels, while the February 2026 reading was compared with February 2025. The modest uptick suggests that inflationary pressures remain contained, offering policymakers and investors a picture of stable, low-level price increases in the Saudi economy.
