In June 2025, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.4% over one month, after ‑0.1% in May. This rise in prices was mainly due to the rebound in the prices of services (+0.6% after ‑0.2%) driven by the rise in accommodation (+8.4% after +3.2%) and transport services (+3.7% after ‑5.2%). The prices of energy also rebounded (+0.6% after ‑1.4%), driven by those of petroleum products (+1.9% after ‑1.7%).

Year on year, consumer prices went up by 1.0% in June 2025, after +0.7% in May.
