FX.co ★ Saudi Arabia’s Monthly Inflation Hits Standstill in September

Saudi Arabia’s consumer price inflation ground to a halt in September 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) registering 0.0%. The latest data, updated on 15 October 2026, show that price levels were unchanged from August, when the CPI had inched up by 0.1% compared with July.

The shift from a modest 0.1% monthly increase in August to flat growth in September suggests a stabilization in short‑term price pressures. Based on the comparison methodology, the current reading reflects no net change in prices between September and August, while the previous figure captured a slight rise between August and July. Investors and policymakers will now be watching upcoming releases to see whether this pause in month‑over‑month inflation marks a temporary lull or the start of a more sustained period of price stability in the Saudi economy.
