FX.co ★ South Africa's Core CPI Edges Up Slightly in November

South Africa's core Consumer Price Index (CPI) registered a slight increase in November 2025, moving to an annual rate of 3.2%. This figure marks a modest uptick from the prior month's 3.1%, as revealed in the latest data updated on December 17, 2025.

This change reflects a year-over-year comparison, where the actual data for November 2025 is contrasted against the same period in 2024. The marginal rise suggests a continuing trend of modest inflationary pressures, with the core CPI last month already marking a slight increase from its October standing.

Amid economic uncertainties, these figures provide crucial insights for policymakers and economic analysts monitoring South Africa's economic health. A careful watch on further trends and projections will be essential for understanding the broader economic implications as the country navigates through the upcoming months.
