Muscat, Oman – The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Oman experienced a slight decline in December 2025, easing to 1.6% from the previous month's 1.7%, according to the most recent figures updated on January 20, 2026. This latest data reflects an annual comparison, showing a subtle shift in the inflation landscape during the end-of-year period.

The year-over-year analysis for December indicates that the current CPI stands at 1.6%, contrasting with the 1.7% recorded in November when comparing each to the same month in the preceding year. This change suggests a tempered pace of inflationary pressures as the Sultanate moves into the new year.

Such fluctuations in the CPI provide insight into the broader economic health of the region. Economists and analysts will likely examine the factors contributing to this slight downtick, as policymakers consider potential strategies to maintain economic stability. As Oman navigates through the year, the focus may be on sustaining these gains while balancing growth and maintaining consumer purchasing power.
