Slovakia's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) saw a marked decrease in June 2025, with a month-over-month rise of just 0.2%, down from an increase of 0.5% recorded in May. This data, updated as of July 15, 2025, signals a significant slowdown in inflationary pressures within the Slovak economy.
The Core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, is a critical indicator used by analysts and policymakers to gauge underlying inflation trends. The latest figures suggest a cooling down of inflation, potentially easing concerns for both consumers and businesses dealing with rising costs in previous months.
This decline in the Core CPI could provide the Slovak National Bank with more room to maneuver in terms of monetary policy, potentially holding off any immediate rate adjustments. As the nation navigates these economic shifts, the focus may shift to sustaining consumer confidence and ensuring economic stability in the mid to long term.
