General Authority for Statistics\u2019 (Gastat) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/1005.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">consumer price index (pdf)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The stability signals <\/strong><strong>a contained inflation environment in the range of roughly 2\u20132.5%<\/strong>, with pockets of upward pressure \u2014 particularly in rents, ins., and services \u2014 offset by declines or stability in other categories, such as furniture, electronics, and household communications equipment, Argaam Investments\u2019 Head of Specialized Research Ahmed Ramzy told EnterpriseAM Saudi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Food and beverage prices \u2014 <\/strong><strong>the heaviest component in the index \u2014 <\/strong><strong>jumped 1.5% y-o-y<\/strong>, supported by a 2.5% y-o-y rise in fresh or chilled meat prices. Restaurants and accommodation services prices also climbed 1.1% y-o-y due to a 1.4% y-o-y rise in food and beverage serving services. Global supply-chain and import-cost pressures have been passing through to local retail prices, albeit at a contained pace due to strong competition in the domestic retail market, Ramzy told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Rents are still on the rise: <\/strong>Prices of housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels were up 4.5% on the back of a 5.7% increase in rents paid for housing. The category continues to exert upward pressure on inflation as the impact of new rent-stabilization rules in Riyadh \u2014 which took effect in late September \u2014 caps future rent increases but does not roll back rents to prior levels, Ramzy said, adding that the policy is limited to Riyadh for now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Ins. and financial services prices also rose 8.2% y-o-y, with ins. services logging a 13.2% <\/strong><strong>increase.<\/strong> The rise reflects broad repricing across ins. products, driven by developments in claims costs, service-provider expenses, and compliance with capital-adequacy and regulatory requirements, all of which pushed risk-pricing in the sector to levels higher than in previous years, Ramzy added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ALSO-<\/strong> Transport prices climbed 1.6% y-o-y, buoyed by a 7.1% increase in passenger transport prices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On the decline: <\/strong>Furnishings, household equipment, and routine household maintenance prices fell 0.5% y-o-y, largely due to a 4.3% drop in furniture, furnishings, and carpet prices. Meanwhile, the information and communication category saw a 0.2% drop in prices, thanks to a 6.3% decline in information and communication equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>On a monthly basis, <\/strong>consumer prices rose 0.3% in October, primarily due to a 0.5% increase in the prices of the food and beverages division and a 0.3% increase in housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>LOOKING AHEAD- <\/strong>Key areas to monitor include the pace at which rental-price growth decelerates following the implementation of rent-stabilization measures in Riyadh, global food-price and import-cost trends, and the evolution of ins. pricing and financial-services costs, Ramzy said. \u201cThe interplay of these factors will determine whether inflation remains anchored near 2% or gradually shifts upward in a way that may require more cautious policy responses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">WHOLESALE PRICE INDEX-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Producer prices rose 2.9% y-o-y in October<\/strong>, up 0.8 percentage points from the previous month, according to Gastat\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/11\/1023.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">wholesale price index (pdf)<\/a>.

The report \u2014 conducted in partnership with YouGov \u2014 focused on non-residential sectors and surveyed Saudi nationals earning above SAR 10k per month and Saudi-based expats with monthly incomes above SAR 30k.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>By the numbers: <\/strong>Riyadh\u2019s lifestyle retail market spans 484.9k sqm across 27 developments and maintains a 97% occupancy rate. It is projected to grow 34% annually through 2027, driven by new projects such as the 90k-sqm The Bellevue. In Jeddah, the market totals 233.4k sqm and is expected to nearly double to 439k sqm by 2027, led by Jeddah Cove Waterfront as its flagship destination. Occupancy in Jeddah stands at 81% overall, with F&B outlets at 75%. Across the Kingdom, lifestyle retail supply is expected to exceed 1 mn sqm by 2027.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Riyadh leads retail development:<\/strong> The capital remains the Kingdom\u2019s retail hub with 4.17 mn sqm of gross leasable area (GLA) as of 1H 2025. Landmark projects such as The Avenues Riyadh (2026) and Diriyah Square (2027) will add over 600k sqm, part of a total 2.2 mn sqm pipeline through 2028. Across other major cities, 8.7 mn sqm of quality retail space is already in play, with over 3.4 mn sqm of new developments expected by 2028.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Strong demand keeps occupancy high:<\/strong> In Riyadh, prime regional and superregional mall rents average SAR 2.8k per sqm with 91% occupancy, led by high-end centers like Solitaire Mall. Jeddah\u2019s occupancy stands at 87% with comparable rents, while the Dammam Metropolitan Area maintains 91% occupancy and average lease rates of SAR 2.3k per sqm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>MEANWHILE- E-commerce is becoming mainstream<\/strong>, with fewer than 2% of surveyed consumers saying they have never shopped online. E-commerce and PoS transactions rose 5% y-o-y to SAR 374 bn in 1H 2025, including a 42% jump in online spending to SAR 41 bn. Despite the digital boom, malls remain social hubs, with 29% of respondents visiting once or twice weekly, and another 27% going two to three times a week. A hybrid shopping model \u2014 combining online and in-store experiences \u2014 is preferred by 53% of consumers, especially high-income Saudis (63%) compared to expats (46%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What Saudis are buying: <\/strong>Online spending is dominated by clothing and fashion (58%), electronics (49%), and groceries (48%), while categories like stationery (26%) and baby products (21%) lag due to their \u201cspecialty\u201d nature. In physical stores, the mix tilts toward groceries (59%), clothing (46%), and beauty products (35%). Saudis show a stronger preference for home furnishings (26% vs. 15% among expats) and imported goods (28% vs. 14%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Spending habits by income:<\/strong> High-income Saudis (earning SAR 80k+ monthly) shop online mainly for access to global brands, while middle-income shoppers prioritize convenience and value. Across all groups, 71% remain value-driven, typically spending SAR 100-400 per retail visit, compared to 27% of high earners who spend over SAR 1k.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Coffee and dining culture on the rise:<\/strong> Coffee outings have become the most common social activity, with 43% of Saudis going out multiple times a week and spending under SAR 50 per visit. Dessert outings follow, as family dining remains popular, with 38% dining out at least once weekly.
