FX.co ★ Saudi Arabia’s Monthly Inflation Grinds to a Halt in February 2026

Saudi Arabia’s consumer price index (CPI) recorded no change in February 2026 on a month-over-month basis, with inflation coming in at 0.0%, according to data updated on 15 March 2026. This follows a modest 0.2% month-over-month increase in January 2026, marking a clear deceleration in short-term price pressures.

The February reading indicates that, on average, consumer prices in the Kingdom were flat compared with January, after having edged higher at the start of the year. In month-over-month terms, the “actual” figure for February compares the price level in February to January, while the “previous” January figure reflects the change from December to January. The shift from 0.2% to 0.0% suggests a stabilization in prices, which could ease immediate concerns over rising living costs and provide policymakers with slightly more room to maneuver on the economic front.
