Savooh's own editorial estimate, based on known regional shopping seasons (White Friday, Ramadan, back-to-school). It is not calculated from this store's price history.

Price Outlook

+2.3%official forecast for consumer prices this year in UAE

At this pace, an item you put off for a year costs roughly 2.3% more, which is why a marked sale month beats waiting for prices to fall.

This is the official price index for the whole market. Individual products move faster or slower than the index, and a sale beats the index either way.
