The point-of-sale (POS) transactions in Saudi Arabia reached nearly SAR 13.2 billion in the week ended June 13, compared to about SAR 13.8 billion a week earlier. 
The number of POS transactions reached about 238.2 million last week, compared to nearly 238.8 million the week before, according to data from Saudi Central Bank.
POS transactions represent consumer expenditure through debit and credit cards at major shopping centers, retail outlets, pharmacies, and others.
The data indicated that the value of sales via POS increases in the weeks that coincide with the disbursement of salaries to government employees (the 27th of each month), in addition to the weeks that coincide with school vacations and the weeks preceding Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. On the other hand, the value of sales decreases in the weeks preceding salary disbursement and those coinciding with the start of the back-to-school season.
The four-week moving average value of POS transactions stood at about SAR 14 billion. Adopting the four-week moving average, the value of POS transactions soared during 2025 compared to 2024, 2023 and 2022.
The average value of sales ranged between SAR 11.4 billion and SAR 15.3 billion in 2025, compared to a range of SAR 11.5 billion and 13.8 billion in 2024, SAR 10.4 billion to SAR 12.7 billion in 2023, and SAR 9.4 billion to SAR 11.6 billion in 2022.
