KSA Primary Consumer Sentiment Index - May 2025
Results of the May 2025 Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) in Saudi Arabia, released by Ipsos, show the index at 72.2, marginally down from 72.4 in April.
Saudi Arabia maintains its leading position globally across key economic indicators. 64% rate the current economy as strong, placing the Kingdom among the top-performing countries in the study. In terms of personal finances, 40% say their current financial situation is strong and 77% feel more comfortable with their ability to invest in the future compared to 6 months ago.
Looking ahead, optimism remains high. About 84% expect their local economy to strengthen over the next six months. However, sentiment around job security has softened slightly, with fewer respondents confident about avoiding job losses compared to the previous wave. While Saudi Nationals are very optimistic about the job market, this is impacted by lower sentiment from resident Arab and Asian expats respectively.
The Primary Consumer Sentiment Index is a global index conducted monthly by Ipsos across 25 countries in collaboration with Thomson Reuters, and measures consumer attitudes towards the current and future state of the local economy, consumers’ personal financial situation, as well as confidence to make large investments and ability to save. The survey has been running monthly in Saudi Arabia since 2010.
