In a surprising display of stability amidst global economic fluctuations, the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) excluding Energy and Food in the Euro Zone remained unchanged at 2.4% in July 2025, as reported on August 20, 2025. This consistent figure is reflective of the ongoing efforts by Euro Zone policymakers to maintain economic balance in the region.

The latest data reveals that the core inflation rate, which provides a clearer picture of underlying inflationary trends by stripping out volatile items like energy and food, saw no change compared to the same month a year ago. Economists had been closely monitoring this metric, given its crucial role in guiding monetary policy decisions throughout the Euro Zone.

This stability marks an essential milestone as the HICP ex Energy & Food stands steady for the third consecutive month at the same level. The unchanged rate indicates a potential easing of inflationary pressures in certain economies within the Euro Zone, offering some relief to consumers and businesses alike as they navigate an increasingly complex economic landscape. As always, the European Central Bank continues to observe these developments closely to ensure that the region remains on track toward its inflation targets.
