(MENAFN) Saudi Jadwa said that last year, the Kingdom’s inflation fell to 5 percent, recording its lowest point in four years, reported Emirates 24/7.
The investment firm added that the decline resulted from lower rents and food prices (the largest components of the cost of living index) that offset the increase in other categories of the consumer price index (CPI).
It also said that food and beverages prices dipped to 5.2 percent in 2011, from 6.2 percent in the previous year, whereas housing and related items declined to 7.8 percent from 9.5 percent.
