Inflation recorded a slight decline in October 2025, standing at 4.9% compared to 5% the previous month, according to data published Wednesday by the National Institute of Statistics (INS). This decline remains modest, but marks a slowdown in the rate of price increases, particularly in food and services.
The decline observed is mainly linked to the slowdown in the evolution of the prices of food products (+5.6% against +5.7% in September) and the “restaurants, cafes and hotels” group (+7.5% against +10.1% a month earlier).
Over one year, food prices remain up 5.6%, driven by fresh vegetables (+21.4%), lamb (+18.8%), fresh fish (+9.9%), beef (+9.8%) and fresh fruit (+9.2%). Conversely, edible oils recorded a spectacular drop of 22.2%.
Manufactured products show an annual increase of 5%, due in particular to the increase in prices of clothing and shoes (+9.2%) and routine household maintenance items (+5%).
