FX.co ★ Portugal's Inflation Holds Steady at 2.2% in December as Economic Steadiness Continues

In a sign of economic steadiness, Portugal's Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged at 2.2% in December 2025, according to the latest data released on January 13, 2026. The CPI, a crucial indicator of inflation that reflects the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for goods and services, held consistent with the figures reported in the same month a year earlier.

This steady rate suggests a balanced economic scenario, where inflationary pressures have not escalated despite potential external economic influences. For Portugal, maintaining this steady rate in December—traditionally a month marked by increased consumer spending—indicates a cautiously stable economic climate.

The continuity in inflation rate reflects the country’s ability to maintain its pricing environment and sustain consumer purchasing power amid global economic shifts. As the economy moves into a new fiscal year, Portugal's continued vigilance in economic policy and market adjustments will be critical in sustaining this balance, ensuring inflation remains manageable while supporting growth objectives.
