The Euro Zone’s Core Consumer Price Index excluding Tobacco (CPI ex Tobacco) showed a marginal uptick for August 2025, as reported in the latest economic data update on September 17, 2025. The CPI ex Tobacco rose to 0.1% compared to the previous month-on-month figure for July, which stood at a stagnant 0.0%.
This slight increase reflects minor inflationary pressures in the Euro Zone economies, with the current percentage change indicating some movement in core prices alongside broader economic indicators. Economists suggest that while the change is subtle, it could hint at underlying shifts in the region's economic momentum.
Market analysts will be closely observing this upward trend as a potential signal of future inflationary trends within the Euro Zone, amidst ongoing economic adjustments and policy responses. The comparison of month-on-month changes continues to be a crucial indicator for central banks and policymakers when assessing economic stability and setting future directives.
