Latest Updates

The annual inflation rate in Italy fell to 1.2% in October of 2025 from 1.6% in the previous month, the lowest in one year, and well under market expectations that it would remain unchanged at 1.6%, according to a flash estimate. Regulated energy prices swung lower from their high inflation rate (-0.8% vs 13.9% in September) amid lower global benchmark prices and base effects, while inflation slowed for fresh food (1.9% vs 4.8%) and transportation services (2.0%) vs 2.4%). In turn, price growth picked up for recreational and cultural services (3.3% vs 3.1%). The core inflation rate, which excludes energy and fresh food, remained unchanged from the previous month at 2% to reflect the relative stability for prices in underlying parts of the consumer basket. From the previous month, consumer prices fell by 0.3%, extending the 0.2% drop from September.
