Higher housing and fuel costs drive Saudi inflation

  • Consumer price index at 1.9%
  • Up from 1.5% a year earlier
  • Measures to tackle rising rents

Saudi inflation increased to 1.9 percent in November, driven by higher rent and fuel prices, according to government data.

The country’s consumer price index stood at 1.5 percent in November 2024. However, CPI has slowed from 2.2 percent in October and is at its lowest level since February.

The cost of housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels surged by 4.3 percent, largely because of rising residential rents, the General Authority for Statistics said in its latest report.

The Saudi government is working on measures to tackle the rise in housing costs, which has been described by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as “unacceptable”.

Saudi homeownership has risen from about 50 percent in 2020 to nearly 65 percent at the end of 2024. The government expects the rate to hit 70 percent in 2030.

The Saudi Ministry of Finance’s budget statement for 2026 predicts that inflation for the full year 2025 will be 2.3 percent, describing this as “relatively acceptable” compared with global inflation. 

“This is due to the kingdom’s implementation of various fiscal and monetary policies aimed at stabilising prices and mitigating their increases, along with the continued improvement in economic conditions,” the ministry said.

The Saudi government expects inflation to hit 2 percent in 2026, 1.8 percent in 2027 and 1.9 percent in 2028.

The International Monetary Fund is forecasting inflation at 2.1 percent in 2025 and 2 percent in 2026. 

Saudi Arabia’s economy grew by 5 percent in the third quarter. Oil-related growth surged as output increased, according to a government estimate released in October.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?

Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)?

The post Shiba Inu (SHIB) vs Little Pepe (LILPEPE): Which Meme Coin Will Take the Crown from Dogecoin (DOGE)? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Dogecoin has been the face of meme coins for a long time. From Elon Musk tweets to a robust community, DOGE has managed to stay alive. But in 2025, things appear slightly different. Will Shiba Inu keep pursuing Dogecoin, or will new contender Little Pepe pass them both by? Dogecoin (DOGE): Still the Benchmark Dogecoin is trading just above $0.2452, up 10.63% over the past week. That steady climb shows why DOGE still matters: it has the liquidity, the listings, and the recognition that few meme tokens can match. Analysts see its price grinding higher into year-end, supported by altcoin momentum and ETF launches in the U.S. But here’s the thing: DOGE is no longer a scrappy underdog. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, turning $100 into $10,000 here is nearly impossible. It’s the Bitcoin of meme coins: reliable, liquid, and still iconic, but its days of 1,000× gains are behind it. Shiba Inu (SHIB): Big Name, Slowing Engine Shiba Inu sits at $0.00001349 with a market cap of $7.6 billion. It’s clawed back momentum with a 3.98% monthly surge, and analysts project a further 9.26% weekly gain to $0.00001418. Token burns and the expansion of Shibarium, its Layer-2 solution, keep the ecosystem alive. That said, SHIB’s size is also its weakness. Even with whales accumulating another 62 billion tokens, growth projections hover in the 400%–500% range, which is impressive but pales in comparison to what early buyers saw in 2021. SHIB is in the odd position of being too big to vanish, but too large to repeat its breakout magic. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): The New Challenger SHIB grew on pure hype, but LILPEPE comes with real infrastructure. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 network designed for meme tokens, with near-zero fees, sniper-bot resistance, and…
