Thailand’s core Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a minor decrease in December 2025, reflecting a slowing pace of inflation in the Thai economy. According to the latest data released on January 7, 2026, the core CPI rose by 0.59% year-over-year compared to the 0.66% increase seen in November 2025.
This month-to-month decline, although modest, may indicate easing inflationary pressures, signaling potential adjustments in consumer spending and pricing trends across the nation. The core CPI, excluding volatile items such as food and energy, is a critical measurement for policy makers and economists, offering deeper insight into underlying inflation trends.
Economic analysts will likely monitor subsequent reports to better understand whether this decline marks the beginning of a larger trend or is a temporary fluctuation. As global and domestic factors continue to evolve, the core CPI remains a pivotal metric in shaping fiscal and monetary policies in Thailand.
