Where pay held steady into the latest edition

Comparable series means the same role in the same independent survey edition, year to year. Reprinted, unchanged tables count as series but never as movement. A market shows a figure only where its own measured series support one. The figures below compare the latest edition against the previous comparable one. The history chart covers the earlier years behind the bands.

  • UAE

    Pay held broadly flat across 8 comparable survey series into 2026.

  • Saudi Arabia

    Pay held broadly flat across 12 comparable survey series into 2026.

    History: 2022 to 2025 across 52 observed points from independent survey editions.

The year-by-year history chart is a Pro feature: Saudi Arabia median pay 2022 to 2025, one dot per year, from the same editions behind the Pay Index. Unlock with Tenure Pro
