The Irish Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) witnessed a minor increase in October 2025, inching up to 2.8% compared to the same month last year. This marked a slight rise from the previously recorded 2.7% annual inflation rate in September. The data was updated on November 13, 2025.
The year-over-year comparison highlights subtle economic fluctuations as Ireland continues to navigate post-pandemic recovery and deal with fluctuating energy costs and supply chain disruptions. The October hike represents a continuation of the modest inflationary trend observed in recent months, albeit at a slightly faster pace.
These figures shed light on the stability of Irish consumer price levels amidst wider European economic dynamics. Market watchers will continue to monitor these developments as Ireland and its European neighbors address ongoing inflationary pressures and seek strategies to sustain economic growth.
