Euro area preliminary inflation rose to 2.2% in September 2025, up from 2.0% in the previous three months, moving slightly above the ECB's 2.0% mid-point target.

The increase was driven mainly by a smaller decline in energy costs, which fell just 0.4% compared with a 2.0% drop in August.

Services inflation edged up to 3.2% from 3.1%, while prices for food, alcohol and tobacco rose at a slower pace.
