Excluding energy and unprocessed food, core inflation held steady at 1.7 percent.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.2 percent in December as estimated.

In 2025, the average annual rate of change of consumer prices was 1.5 percent versus 1.0 percent in 2024.

Inflation, based on the harmonized index of consumer prices, also rose slightly to 1.2 percent in December from 1.1 percent in the previous month. Monthly, the HICP increased 0.2 percent. There was no change in figures compared to the flash report.
