About this ranking

Harmonised index of consumer prices, all items, with the 2025 average equal to 100. Monthly, not seasonally adjusted (Eurostat). Comparable across EU countries.

The latest month for some countries is a flash estimate, marked as estimated, and is revised the following month. For the inflation rate use hicp_annual_rate. cpi_index is a national CPI (INE for Spain) with its own base and method.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
