Saudi Aramco reported on Wednesday a net income attributable to shareholders of $111.1 billion in 2018, up from $75.9 billion the year before, according to a statement from the company.

Aramco said total revenues were at $355.9 billion in 2018, up from $264.2 billion, as oil prices improved. Total assets jumped to $358.9 billion in the same period, from $294 billion in 2017.

In April, Aramco got its first-ever credit ratings following 2018 earnings that dwarfed those of international oil majors.

Credit rating agency Fitch said in April that Aramco generated earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) of $224 billion last year, surpassing ExxonMobil, the world's largest listed oil firm.

On April 10, Aramco said that it raised $12 billion from its debut international bond issue, which was split into five tranches. The bonds have maturities ranging from three to 30 years.

The General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) reported that the annual inflation rate in Saudi Arabia remained stable at 2.3% in June 2025 compared to the same month of the previous year.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) also remained steady at 0.2% in June 2025 compared to May 2025, on a monthly basis.

Similarly, the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) recorded a relative stability at 2.1% in June 2025 compared to the same month last year. However, the WPI decreased by 0.1% in June 2025 compared to May 2025.

According to GASTAT, CPI reflects price changes paid by consumers for a fixed basket of 490 goods and services. This basket was selected based on the results of the 2018 Household Income and Expenditure Survey. Prices are collected through field visits to points of sale, and the CPI statistics are published monthly.
