The Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) excluding energy and food in the Euro Zone has remained steady at 0.1% for the month of May 2025, according to the latest data updated on 18 June 2025. This comes as a period-over-period comparison reveals that the month-over-month figure has remained unaltered since the previous month's reading.
This stability indicates a continuation of the minimal inflationary pressures when volatile items like energy and food are excluded from the calculation. The lack of movement in this indicator may suggest that core inflationary pressures remain subdued across the Euro Zone, potentially impacting monetary policy decisions in the region.
Analysts and investors will be closely watching for any signs of change in the underlying inflationary trends, as central banks and policymakers navigate these steady figures amid broader economic challenges. The unchanged indicator at 0.1% signals ongoing price stability within the core sectors of the Euro Zone economy.
