FX.co ★ Saudi Arabia’s July Inflation Holds Steady at 1.8% Year-on-Year

Saudi Arabia’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.8% year-on-year in July 2026, unchanged from the 1.8% annual increase recorded in June 2026, according to data updated on 13 August 2026. The stability in the headline inflation rate suggests a continuation of moderate price pressures in the Kingdom.

On a year-over-year basis, July’s reading confirms that price growth is running at the same pace as in the previous month, indicating neither an acceleration nor a slowdown in headline inflation relative to June. Both June and July figures compare the respective months of 2026 with the same months a year earlier, underscoring a period of consistent, low inflation for Saudi consumers and businesses.
