In a moderating deflationary trend, Bahrain’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed an improvement in August 2025, inching up to -0.80%. This comes after the index reached -0.90% in July 2025, indicating a positive turn in the economic environment. The year-over-year comparison highlights a modest easing in the rate of deflation during this period.

The updated figures, released on 28 September 2025, reflect an ongoing effort to stabilize the nation’s economy. Observers note that while the figure remains in the negative, the reduction in deflation suggests that prices are beginning to stabilize, which could indicate a recovering economic scenario.

The year-over-year data underscores the subtle shift in economic dynamics, showing Bahrain is making slow yet steady progress in curbing the downward price trend. Economists will be watching closely in the coming months to see if this upward trajectory will continue and if positive growth can be sustained across other economic areas.
