FX.co ★ Saudi Arabia’s Monthly Inflation Turns Positive in March, CPI Rises 0.3% M/M

Saudi Arabia’s consumer prices edged higher in March 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.3% month-over-month, according to data updated on 15 April 2026. This marks a shift from February 2026, when monthly inflation was flat at 0.0%.

The latest reading indicates that price pressures have resumed modestly after a stagnant February, on a month-over-month comparison basis. Under this measure, the March figure reflects the change from February to March, while the previous 0.0% reading captured the change from January to February. Investors and analysts will be watching subsequent releases closely to see whether March’s uptick signals the start of a firmer inflation trend or a temporary adjustment in prices.
