The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Austria remained unchanged in December 2025, according to the latest update on January 19, 2026. The CPI, which serves as a key indicator of inflation by measuring the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services, held steady at 0.31% on a month-over-month basis. This follows an identical rate recorded in November 2025.
December's unchanged CPI indicates a period of relative stability in consumer prices during the holiday season, a time often characterized by fluctuations in spending and prices. The consistent month-over-month rate reflects an equilibrium between consumer demand and market supply, suggesting that inflationary pressures remained in check during this period.
With Austria's CPI holding consistent for two consecutive months, policymakers and economists will be closely monitoring future data to anticipate any shifts that might influence the Austrian economic landscape. The stability observed in the last months of 2025 could provide a foundation for more accurate economic forecasting and planning as the year progresses.
