FX.co ★ Saudi Consumer Confidence Climbs in September, PCSI Rises to 73.88

Saudi Arabian consumer sentiment strengthened in September 2026, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) rising to 73.88. This marks an increase from August 2026, when the index stood at 71.42.

On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading signals improving confidence among Saudi consumers compared with the previous month’s sentiment. The September data, updated as of 10 September 2026, reflects how current consumer perceptions have shifted positively from August, when the index had already shown its own month-over-month movement relative to July.

The PCSI tracks household views on key economic dimensions, including personal finances and broader economic conditions. The latest uptick suggests that, heading into the final quarter of 2026, Saudi consumers are entering the period with greater optimism than in the prior month.
