The inflation trend in Peru took a turn in June 2025, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a noticeable upswing. After a contraction in May, when the CPI recorded a slight negative change of -0.06%, the index bounced back to positive territory, stopping at 0.13% in June. This marks a significant month-over-month increase for the Andean nation.
This shift in the CPI suggests that the Peruvian economy is grappling with rising prices once again, following a brief respite in deflationary pressures noted in the previous month. The change from May's negative indicator to June's positive growth implies that consumer prices are starting to accelerate, potentially affecting both the cost of living and business operating conditions.
As this data, updated on July 1, 2025, reflects growing inflationary pressure, it sparks considerations for policy adjustments to manage price stability while sustaining economic growth. Stakeholders in both the public and private sectors will be closely monitoring subsequent CPI data to guide future economic strategies and decisions.
