In April 2025, South Korea's Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged from the previous month, registering a consistent annual increase of 2.1%. According to data updated on May 1, 2025, this growth indicator mirrors March's year-over-year comparison, showing stability in consumer prices over the two-month period.
This consistent 2.1% increase suggests a steady inflationary environment compared to the same months of the previous year. The unchanged figure indicates that the inflation rate is maintaining a balanced trajectory, neither accelerating nor decelerating, which could influence policy decisions from South Korean economic authorities moving forward.
This stagnation in CPI is notable given the fluctuating economic factors both domestically and internationally that could potentially impact the cost of living. Analysts and policymakers will likely monitor subsequent months closely to determine if this trend will hold or if adjustments will be necessary to align with economic growth objectives.
