The Euro Zone's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) showcased a notable decline in November 2025, dropping to -0.5% month-over-month from the previous 0.3% in October, starkly highlighting a possible cooling of consumer demand and economic activity in the region.
Released on December 2, 2025, the update from the Euro Zone's statistical department signals a significant shift from October's moderate increase in prices. The Core CPI measures the change in the price of goods and services, excluding the volatile food and energy sectors, offering a clearer indicator of underlying inflation trends.
This downturn underscores ongoing challenges within the Euro Area, potentially affecting monetary policy decisions and raising concerns about economic stability as it indicates a decrease in consumer spending and demand within the economy. Analysts will be watching closely to see if this trend continues in the subsequent months, impacting growth forecasts and monetary policies.
