Austria's inflation rate showed a notable decline in December 2025, easing to 3.76% from November's year-over-year rate of 4.02%, marking a continuous downward trend in consumer prices. The data, updated on 19 January 2026, reflects an alleviation in inflationary pressure during this period, offering some relief to consumers and businesses alike.
December's figures represent a comparison to the same month from the previous year, illustrating an effective moderation in the pace at which consumer prices are rising. This follows the previous month's comparison, where November 2025's inflation was 4.02% relative to November 2024.
The gradual deceleration in Austria's consumer price index (CPI) can be leveraged as an indicator of stabilizing economic conditions as policymakers seek to strike a balance between sustaining inflation at manageable levels and supporting economic growth. The improvement in the inflation rate could potentially foster better consumer confidence and spending as the new year progresses.
