Annual inflation in the euro area is projected to reach 2.0% in June 2025, a slight increase from 1.9% in May, according to a flash estimate released by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
Among the main components of euro area inflation:
The modest rise in headline inflation brings the euro area closer to the European Central Bank’s target, while the continued decline in energy prices offers some relief to households and businesses facing broader cost pressures.

Eurostat will publish detailed final inflation figures for June later in July.
