The annual inflation rate in Saudi Arabia reached 2.3% in April 2025, the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) said Thursday.

This rate positions the Kingdom among the G20 nations with the lowest inflation.

According to GASTAT, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the price of a fixed basket of 490 goods and services paid by consumers. The basket is selected based on a 2018 household income and expenditure survey, which determined the items and their respective weights.

Prices are collected through on-site visits to sales points. The CPI statistics are published monthly.
