Inflationary “vacation” is over

The growth of annual inflation in September amounted to about 6.9%, compared to 7.3% in August 2025. The growth of prices for personal services (by 12.9%), non-food products (by 2.8%) and food (by 6.7%) played its role.

In September, the seasonal decline in prices for food products continued. Prices for onions decreased by 1.7%, garlic by 2%, tomatoes by 7.3%, cucumbers by 7.9% potatoes by 4.5%, fruits by 2.8%.

However, the beginning of autumn brought to the population a more pronounced than in summer growth of prices for a group of non-food products and services. Statistics records a significant increase in the price of gasoline, clothing, footwear, diesel fuel, construction materials. At the same time, prices for medicines and liquefied gas decreased slightly.

In the sphere of services, in September the population had to pay more for rent, for children’s education (as a result of increase in tuition fees at colleges and universities). At the same time, in September, average consumer prices for passenger transport services decreased by 2.4% (including air transport services – by 9.9%), sewerage services – by 0.8%, water supply services – by 0.3%.

The trend towards a gradual increase in core inflation, i.e. exempt from food price pressures and regulatory restrictions, remains alarming. In September 2025, the annual rate of core inflation rose slightly but not significantly since the beginning of the year – from 3.77% to 4.46%, which suggests weak inflation targeting by the central bank.
