- Core inflation (excluding unprocessed food and energy) edged up +0.1 ppt to +2.5% YoY, indicating a small pickup in underlying price pressures.
- The Harmonised CPI (HICP) rose +0.5% MoM and +3.2% YoY, up +0.2 ppts from September, showing a similar upward trend in EU-comparable terms.
- Underlying HICP inflation was estimated at +2.6% YoY, broadly consistent with the national core measure.
- On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased +0.7% from September, the strongest gain since early 2025, reflecting seasonal and energy-related effects.
