The annual wholesale price inflation in Saudi Arabia stood at 2.1% in September 2025, unchanged for the fourth consecutive month and remaining at its highest level since October last year. The main upward pressure came from higher inflation in agriculture and fishery products (4.7% vs. 4.4% in August), driven by a 6.6% rise in agricultural product prices and a 5.6% increase in fish and other fishing products. Price growth also accelerated for food products, beverages, tobacco, and textiles (0.6% vs. 0.4%), alongside a slight uptick in metal products, machinery, and equipment (0.1% vs. 0%). In contrast, inflation slowed for other transportable goods, excluding metal products, machinery, and equipment (4% vs. 4.2%), while deflation persisted for ores and minerals (-0.6% vs. -0.8%). On a monthly basis, wholesale prices rose 0.3%, following a 0.2% gain in August.
