GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Arab News · Saudi Arabia · Middle East

In October, Saudi Arabia's annual inflation rate decreased to 1.7%, matching April's rate and down from 1.9% in September, primarily driven by rising costs in housing, transport, and food. The monthly consumer price index saw a slight 0.1% increase, with housing and utilities contributing notably to price growth.
