Slovakia's core Consumer Price Index (CPI) has seen a slight uptick, edging up to 3.0% in December 2025 from 2.9% in November of the same year. This data, updated on January 15, 2026, reflects a year-over-year comparison, indicating that inflationary pressures are marginally increasing in the country.

The core CPI is a crucial indicator as it strips out the more volatile categories such as food and energy, offering a clearer view of the underlying inflation trends. A 0.1% increase might seem negligible, but it could signal underlying economic dynamics that warrant closer examination by policymakers and economists.

As Slovakia closed out the year 2025, this data adds a layer of complexity to the economic landscape, potentially influencing monetary policy and fiscal strategies in the coming months. Stakeholders will be keen to see if this trend continues, indicating persisting, or possibly growing, inflationary pressures in the region.
