Dutch inflation slips to 2.8% in December 2025

Consumer goods and services in the Netherlands were 2.8 per cent more expensive in December 2025 than a year earlier, according to Statistics Netherlands (CBS). This marked a marginal cooling from November’s 2.9 per cent year-on-year (YoY) reading. On a month-on-month basis, consumer prices remained virtually unchanged compared with November.

With the December data now finalised, average consumer price inflation for the whole of 2025 stood at 3.3 per cent compared with 2024, CBS said in a release.

Under the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), Dutch inflation eased to 2.5 per cent in December from 2.6 per cent in November. By contrast, inflation across the euro area declined from 2.1 per cent to 2 per cent, helped by lower energy prices.
