EUROPEAN INFLATION: MNI Eurozone Inflation Insight – September 2025

Oct-03 12:40

We have published the MNI Eurozone Inflation Insight, with the full report found here. 

  • Eurozone September headline HICP inflation printed broadly in line with consensus expectations on Tuesday, at 2.23% (consensus 2.2%) for an acceleration versus August’s 2.04%.
  • As we flagged in our preview ahead of country-level data, such a marginal upside surprise was not sufficient to ensure a material tilt in EUR rates, with markets expecting both the October and December ECB meetings to remain largely out of play.
  • Across categories, food, alcohol and tobacco (FAT) was the only notable surprise, coming in softer than expected at 3.04%Y/Y (down from 3.19%Y/Y where it was expected to remain).
