In Summary


    The annual consumer price inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 3.6 per cent in March 2025.

    This is an indication that the general price level in March 2025 was 3.6 per cent higher than it was in March 2024.

    The price increase was primarily driven by the rise in prices of items in the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages category (6.6%); and the Transport category (1.5%) over the one-year period.

    There was a decline in prices for items in the Housing, Water, Electricity, Gas and other fuels category by 0.8 per cent over the period.

    These three divisions together account for over 57 per cent of the total weight across the 13 major expenditure categories.
