FX.co ★ Dutch Inflation Rate Falls to 13-Month Low

In June 2025, the annual inflation rate in the Netherlands decreased to 3.1% from 3.3% in May, reaching its lowest point since May 2024. This decline was primarily driven by reduced inflation in industrial goods, excluding energy and motor fuels, which fell to 0.6% from 1.8% in May, and in food, beverages, and tobacco, which decreased to 4.6% from 7.1%. Meanwhile, inflation in the services sector rose to 4.4% from 3.8% in the previous period, and costs for energy, including motor fuels, saw a rebound to 0.6% from -1%. On a month-over-month basis, consumer prices are anticipated to remain stable, following a 0.5% decline in May. In terms of harmonized consumer prices, which are used for EU comparisons, a year-on-year increase of 2.8% is expected, slightly down from the previous 2.9% rise.
