Canada's Common Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged at 2.8% in December 2025, marking stability in the country's inflation trajectory amidst fluctuating economic conditions globally. This consistency comes following the same rate posted in November 2025, based on the year-over-year comparison.
Inflation rates provide key insights into economic health, and the maintained rate suggests that Canada is experiencing a period of economic equilibrium regarding consumer prices. As the Common CPI measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for goods and services over time, a steady rate implies that there are no dramatic changes affecting the purchasing power of Canadians.
This data, updated as of January 19, 2026, reinforces the notion of a stable inflationary environment in Canada. As global markets face various inflationary pressures, Canada's ability to maintain its Common CPI at this rate is a positive indicator for both consumers and policymakers aiming to keep economic growth on an even keel.
