Austria Tasa De Inflación

Austria's annual inflation rate rose to 3.1% in April 2025 from 2.9% in the previous month, preliminary estimates showed. "The increase is mainly due to the fact that prices for package holidays have risen massively compared to April last year, as the Easter holidays and school holidays fell in April this year. This effect can also be seen in the services sector. Here, prices have risen by 4.8% year-on-year. This means that services continue to be the strongest driver of inflation and are dominating inflation even more than before. The price increase for food, tobacco, alcohol is also slightly above average at +3.2%, while the rise in energy prices was well below general inflation at +0.7%. Significantly lower fuel prices largely compensated for the effects of higher electricity prices,” said Statistics Austria Director General Tobias Thomas. On a monthly basis, consumer prices stood at 0.2% in April 2025, unchanged from the previous month.
