Saudi Arabia's annual inflation rate decreased to 1.7% in February 2026, the lowest since September 2024, down from 1.8% in January. Price pressures eased in several categories, including housing, insurance, recreation, tobacco, education, and transport. Prices remained stable for food and clothing, while furnishings saw a decline. However, inflation rose slightly in health and accelerated in personal care, restaurants, and communication. Monthly consumer prices were unchanged after a 0.2% increase in January.
