Abuja, Aug. 15, 2025 – The July 2025 inflation data showed positive signs of easing, with headline and core inflation (year-on-year) both reducing, alongside month-on-month declines in food and core inflation.
This points to slower price growth and greater stability, especially as core inflation, which excludes volatile items like energy and food, fell on both a yearly and monthly basis.
However, headline inflation (month-on-month) and food inflation (year-on-year) both inched higher.
Headline inflation (year-on-year) continued its decline, to 21.88% from 22.22% in June, a 0.34% decline. Core inflation also dropped to 21.33% from 22.76% in June, a 1.43% decline.
In contrast, food inflation rose to 22.74% from 21.97% in June, an increase of 0.77%.
Month-on-month, headline inflation increased by 0.31% to 1.99% from 1.68% in June.
Food inflation declined by 0.13% to 3.12% from 3.25% in June, while core inflation posted a significant drop to 0.97%, down from 2.46% in June 2025. (Commercio Patners)
