The latest release from the Thomson Reuters IPSOS PCSI survey indicates a marginal dip in Saudi Arabian consumer sentiment as the confidence index moved from 72.25 in December 2025 to 72.23 in January 2026. This data, updated on January 15, 2026, reflects a slight change in consumer confidence over the month.

Conducted monthly, the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) is a key economic indicator used to gauge consumer confidence globally. Comparatively, Saudi Arabia's month-over-month change demonstrates a negligible decline in consumer sentiment, underscoring relative economic stability within the region, unlike more volatile shifts observed in some other global economies.

The minimal change signifies nuanced consumer optimism or potential emerging concerns that may have impacted spending and economic outlook for early 2026. Analysts will continue to monitor these trends as more economic challenges or developments may unfold with potential implications for future consumer behavior in Saudi Arabia.
