Inflation Rate Stabilizes at 4.9% in November 2025

The National Institute of Statistics announced on Friday, December 5, 2025, that the inflation rate stabilized at 4.9% in November 2025. This stability can be explained by the acceleration of the price increase rate in the "Food" group (5.8% in November 2025 compared to 5.6% in October 2025) and the "Housing, water, gas" group (3.5% in November 2025 compared to 3.4% in October 2025). It is also due, according to the INS, to the deceleration of the price increase rate in the "Restaurant, café, and hotel services" group (6.2% in November 2025 compared to 7.5% in October 2025) and the "Furniture, household items" group (4.8% in November 2025 compared to 4.9% in October 2025).

Key Price Increases

According to INS data, the increase in food prices over the past year is mainly due to:

  • An 18.5% increase in lamb meat prices
  • A 15.9% increase in fresh vegetable prices
  • An 11.5% increase in fresh fruit prices
  • A 10.4% increase in beef prices
  • A 10% increase in fresh fish prices

On the other hand, food oil prices have decreased by 17.3%.

Manufactured Products and Services

The prices of manufactured products have evolved by 5% due to a 9.2% increase in clothing and shoe prices and a 5% increase in regular household maintenance products. For services, the price increase is 4% over the past year, mainly explained by a 6.2% increase in restaurant, café, and hotel services.

Underlying Inflation Rate

The underlying inflation rate (excluding food and energy products) has decreased to 5% in November 2025, compared to 5.1% the previous month. The prices of free products (not framed) have increased by 6% over the past year. The prices of framed products have evolved by 0.7%. In contrast, free food products have seen a 6.5% increase, compared to 0.3% for framed food products.

Consumer Price Index

The INS also reported a slight increase in consumer prices of 0.1% in November 2025 compared to October 2025, following a 0.4% increase in clothing and shoe prices and a 0.3% increase in leisure and culture prices, against a 0.3% decrease in food prices.
