In August 2025, Hungary's Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell slightly to 3.9%, according to newly released data. This marks a continuation of a modest downward trend that saw the index previously at 4.0% in July 2025. The data, updated on 9th September 2025, reflects a year-over-year comparison, illustrating the change in the index from the same month last year.

This reduction in the Core CPI suggests a tempered inflationary pressure, an encouraging sign for the Hungarian economy, which has been navigating the global economic uncertainties. Economists will likely view this slowing inflation as a signal that the country's monetary policies might be stabilizing prices after a period of fluctuation.

While the decline may seem minor, the consistency of the trend over consecutive months indicates a positive trajectory towards achieving price stability. Investors and market participants will be closely watching how these changes influence the central bank's policy decisions in the upcoming months.
