Inflation Rate Trends and Forecast for Saudi Arabia from 1990 to 2029

Saudi Arabia has maintained low and often negative inflation rates over the decades due to its oil-based economy and controlled price environment. Inflation spiked to 6.1% in 2008 during the global financial crisis but returned to near-zero levels by 2019. Recent years have seen modest inflation, with a peak of 3.4% in 2020 due to VAT increases and global economic recovery.

Projections indicate inflation stabilizing at 2.0% from 2025 onward, reflecting Saudi Arabia's economic diversification efforts under Vision 2030 and its stable fiscal policies.
