VIENNA - In the latest economic update, Austria witnessed a deceleration in its Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August 2025, reflecting a month-over-month increase of 0.20%, according to data updated on September 2, 2025. This is a decrease from the previous month of July, where the CPI saw a change of 0.31%. The latest figures indicate a slowdown in inflationary pressures within the country.

The CPI is a crucial economic indicator that measures the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a representative basket of goods and services. The moderated rise in August suggests potential easing in consumer prices, which could impact monetary policy decisions and economic forecasts for Austria.

This month-over-month comparison highlights reduced price momentum as Austrian consumers continue to navigate through fluctuating economic conditions. The decrease from July's 0.31% to August's 0.20% could be a sign of stabilization, offering some relief to households and policymakers concerned with inflationary trends in the Austrian economy.
