Australia has witnessed a notable increase in its weighted mean Consumer Price Index (CPI), which has reached 3.4% as of October 2025. This marks a considerable rise from the previous quarter's figure of 2.8%. The data, updated on November 26, 2025, highlights a trend of inflationary pressures that have taken root over the past year.
This current shift to 3.4% represents a year-over-year comparison, which illustrates the change from this October compared to the same month in the previous year. The previous quarter's 2.8% also utilized this same comparative time frame of assessing inflation.
The escalating CPI is an indication of growing inflation within the Australian economy, potentially influencing consumer behavior and policy decisions. As the economic landscape continues to evolve, stakeholders will be keenly observing these changes to assess future fiscal and monetary policies.
