Rome, January 16, 2026 — Italy's economic stability witnessed a slight upward trend in December, as the latest Italian Consumer Price Index (CPI) Ex Tobacco marked a modest increase. According to data released today, the CPI Ex Tobacco rose to 1.1% in December 2025, up from the previous month's 1.0%.
Comparing year-over-year data, the current 1.1% indicator signifies a slight yet positive shift, signaling economic resilience amid global market fluctuations. The previous 1.0% increase noted in November 2025 suggested a steady climate, but December's data highlights a growing confidence among consumers and sectors not influenced by tobacco price changes.
This rise in the CPI Ex Tobacco is an important marker for Italy's economic analysts. As the nation navigates through a complex global financial landscape, subtle shifts such as this hold significant implications for economic policies and consumer behavior. The report, updated on January 16, 2026, offers a hopeful outlook for Italy as it endeavors to bolster economic growth and maintain market stability.
