The annual inflation rate in Austria slowed to 3.8% in December 2025 from 4% in the previous month, marking the lowest reading since July, preliminary estimates showed. “Energy prices in particular slowed at the end of the year, as fuel prices had a dampening effect after three months of increase. Electricity, on the other hand, remained expensive. On average, energy prices rose by 9.0% in December, following an increase of 10.9% in November. Once again, the strongest driver of inflation was the services sector. Prices here rose by 4.4% in December, almost as much as in November with +4.5%.
