The Hungarian economy experienced a modest decrease in its Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May 2025, marking a shift from the previous month's figures. According to the latest data updated on June 11, 2025, the Core CPI recorded a year-on-year change of 4.8%, down from April's 5.0%.
This slight dip in the inflation measure indicates a deceleration in the price levels of core goods and services, excluding volatile energy and food prices. The current figure represents the comparison of the change in May 2025 to the same month in the previous year.
Economic analysts will be keenly observing these changes in the Core CPI as it can signal underlying inflation trends, potentially influencing monetary policies. Investors and consumers alike will be watching how these trends develop in the coming months to better gauge the trajectory of Hungary's economic health and inflationary outlook.
