沙特阿拉伯的年通货膨胀率从7月份的2.1%上升到2025年8月的2.3%,略高于2.2%的预期。主要的上涨压力来自住房、水、电、天然气和其他燃料(7月份为5.8%对5.6%),主要是由于租金增长更快(7.6%对7.2%)。食品和饮料(1.1%对1.0%)以及餐厅和住宿服务(3.0%对2.8%)的价格增长也有所回升,主要原因是住宿成本上涨(4.7%对4.4%)。个人护理、社会保障和其他商品和服务进一步上涨(4.8%对4.5%),珠宝和手表(18%对17%)推动了这一增长。由于客运强劲(5.3%对5.0%),交通通胀加速(1.2%对1.1%),而教育服务小幅上涨(0.8%对0.5%)。相比之下,家具和家用设备(-0.3%对-0.2%)以及信息和通信(-0.4%对-0.3%)的通货膨胀有所缓解。按月计算,8月份消费者价格指数上涨0.1%,与7月份持平。
Saudi Arabia’s annual inflation rate rose to 2.3% in August 2025 from 2.1% in July, slightly above expectations of 2.2%. Main upward pressure came from housing, water, electricity, gas, and other fuels (5.8% vs 5.6% in July), mainly due to faster rent growth (7.6% vs 7.2%). Price growth also picked up for food and beverages (1.1% vs 1.0%) and restaurant and accommodation services (3.0% vs 2.8%), led by higher accommodation costs (4.7% vs 4.4%). Personal care, social protection, and other goods and services rose further (4.8% vs 4.5%), boosted by jewelry and watches (18% vs 17%). Transport inflation accelerated (1.2% vs 1.1%) on stronger passenger transport (5.3% vs 5.0%), while education services edged up (0.8% vs 0.5%). In contrast, inflation eased for furnishings and household equipment (-0.3% vs -0.2%) and for information and communication (-0.4% vs -0.3%).
