Consumer price growth in the United Arab Emirates turned negative in November 2025, with the country’s CPI (month-over-month) registering a decline of 0.19%, according to data updated on 10 March 2026. This marks a reversal from the previous month’s modest increase, when CPI rose 0.09% in December 2025 on a month-over-month basis.
The figures reflect a cooling in short-term price pressures. The “Actual” November reading compares price changes in November 2025 to October 2025, while the “Previous” figure shows how prices in December 2025 moved versus November 2025. The shift from a 0.09% rise to a 0.19% drop suggests that, on a monthly basis, consumer costs edged lower as 2025 drew to a close, potentially easing immediate inflation concerns for households and policymakers.
