Italy’s consumer prices rose 0.2% month‑on‑month in December 2025, according to preliminary data released by Istat, the national statistics office. The national consumer price index (NIC) excluding tobacco registered a 1.2% annual increase, up from 1.1% in November. Over the year, prices climbed 1.5%, slightly higher than the 1.0% gain recorded in 2024. Core inflation, excluding energy and fresh food, accelerated to 1.9% from 1.7% in December. Key contributors were transport services, which grew 2.6% month‑on‑month, and processed foods, up 2.6%. Regulated energy prices fell 5.3% and recreational services slowed, tempering the overall rise. The harmonised consumer price index (IPCA) matched the NIC with a 0.2% monthly increase.
