In November 2025, Latvia witnessed a notable economic shift as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) took a marked downturn, registering at -0.30%, according to the latest data updated on December 8, 2025. This decline represents a significant departure from the previous month's 0.40% increase in October, highlighting the potential onset of deflationary pressures within the national economy.
The month-over-month comparison reveals a stark contrast, as the CPI in October experienced a moderate rise, whereas November's figures indicate a reversal into negative territory. This unexpected drop could signal various economic adjustments, with the potential to impact consumer spending, business investment, and policy measures within Latvia.
Economists and policymakers will now be closely monitoring the situation, assessing the underlying factors contributing to this deflationary trend. Factors such as decreased consumer demand, changes in commodity prices, or shifts in monetary policy might be at play. The coming months will be critical in determining whether this is a temporary fluctuation or an indication of more prolonged economic challenges ahead. Latvia's economic stakeholders should prepare for potential adjustments in strategy to align with the changing fiscal landscape.
