In October 2025, the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the Euro Zone, excluding energy and food, remained unchanged at 0.2% month-over-month. This stability in the HICP suggests a consistent inflationary environment when the volatile categories of energy and food are excluded from the index. The latest data was updated on November 19, 2025.
The continuity of the indicator at the 0.2% mark mirrors the previous month's results, indicating that the Euro Zone is experiencing a phase of price stability in core areas of its economy. These figures are crucial for policymakers and economists, as they provide a clearer picture of underlying inflation trends without the fluctuations seen in energy and food prices.
This period marks a continuation of subdued inflation pressures in the Euro Zone, as central banks and economic stakeholders closely monitor these metrics for signals on monetary policy directions and economic health. As the European Central Bank assesses its strategies, this steady HICP could influence decisions on interest rates and economic stimulus plans in the near future.
