Australia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) has shown an uptick for December 2025, with the monthly indicator climbing to 3.80%, up from November's rate of 3.40%. This data, updated on January 28, 2026, highlights a rise in inflation throughout the final month of last year.
The Year-over-Year analysis, which compares the change for December 2025 against the same month in 2024, shows a noticeable increase, indicating potential shifts in the economic conditions impacting the cost of goods and services in Australia.
The rise in the CPI suggests rising prices across the board, creating potential implications for both consumers and policymakers as they navigate the evolving economic landscape. The upward trends observed in these figures could signal changes in consumer purchasing power and the need for adjustments in monetary policy to stabilize economic growth and ensure price stability in the months to come.
