Hungary's CPI Eases to 3.8% in November, Continuing Downward Trend

Hungary's consumer price index (CPI) has registered a further decline, reaching 3.8% in November 2025, according to the latest data released on December 9, 2025. This figure marks a slight decrease from October's CPI of 4.3%, signaling a continued ease in inflationary pressures within the Central European country.

The year-over-year comparison demonstrates a notable reduction in the inflation rate, as November’s CPI reflects the economic adjustments and potential policy interventions aimed at stabilizing prices. This downward trajectory is crucial for Hungary as it seeks to bring inflation rates closer to the European Central Bank's target levels, ultimately fostering economic stability and consumer confidence.

The report highlights the importance of monitoring inflation indicators, particularly amid shifting global economic conditions, which can influence domestic prices and cost of living. Analysts suggest that Hungary's efforts to control inflation are showing positive effects, and continued observation and policy adaptation will be essential in maintaining this momentum heading into 2026.
