New data released on Friday by Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical office, reveals a striking contrast in inflation rates across the bloc. While the European Union’s annual inflation rate rose to 2.6% in September 2025, an increase from 2.4% in August, the island nation of Cyprus uniquely recorded an annual inflation of 0%.<\/p>\n
The broader euro area also saw an upward trend, with its annual inflation rate hitting 2.2%, up from 2.0% in August 2025 and notably higher than the 1.7% recorded in September 2024. The overall EU figure of 2.6% marks a rise from 2.4% in the preceding month and 2.1% a year earlier.<\/p>\n
The range of inflation across member states was substantial. At the high end, Romania registered the sharpest annual rate at 8.6%. It was followed by Estonia at 5.3%, with both Croatia and Slovakia tied at 4.6%.<\/p>\n
On the other side of the spectrum, the lowest rates were noted in France at 1.1%, and both Italy and Greece at 1.8%. However, Cyprus was the standout, maintaining its 0% rate.<\/p>\n
The stable rate in Cyprus is a remarkable development. The 0% annual inflation in September 2025 remained unchanged from August 2025, even registering a slight month-on-month deflationary trend of -0.4%. This performance is especially significant considering that just one year prior, in September 2024, Cyprus’s inflation stood at 1.6%, and other nations like Romania and Estonia were already experiencing significant price increases.<\/p>\n
Analysis by Eurostat indicates that the primary pressure points for inflation in the euro area stemmed from services, which provided the largest boost at 1.49%. This was followed by food, alcohol, and tobacco at a 0.58% contribution, and non-energy industrial goods adding 0.20%. In contrast, energy prices had a slightly deflationary<\/i> impact, contributing -0.03% and slightly mitigating the overall rise in the inflation figure.<\/p>\n
