In the reference period, seasonal components remained flat, core prices moved higher, while regulated items registered a mild easing. Core inflation advanced by 1.8% MoM in June 2025, exceeding the 1.5% MoM increase observed in the prior month. Seasonal prices registered a 0.5% MoM rise, in line with the latest revised estimate, while regulated items rose by 2.7% MoM, significantly lower than the 3.8% MoM recorded in May. Core inflation contributed 0.9 percentage points to the overall Consumer Price Index (CPI), while regulated prices added 0.8 pp and seasonal components contributed 0.1 pp. Absent the impact of regulated prices, the monthly inflation rate would have stood closer to 1%.
