How inflation in Saudi Arabia is measured
The figures above come from the OECD's national CPI dataset, compiled by Saudi Arabia's national statistics office. The series is indexed so that a chosen base year equals 100, and the calculator works out the ratio between any two dates you pick.
Coverage runs from January 1995 to May 2026, and updates automatically as each new release is published. Figures for the most recent periods can be revised by the statistics office after first publication.
