The number of transactions rose by 55.7% to 250,000 transactions, with the value growing by 133.9% to reach 1.04 billion riyals. Additionally, spending on books and stationery increased by 30.2% to 155.18 million riyals. Despite a 4.9% decline in the total number of point-of-sale transactions to 237.35 million transactions, the rise in spending within the sector, especially with the back-to-school season, underscores the sector's economic importance.
