OECD consumer-price inflation holds at 4.2 % in September, energy inflation jumps
OECD inflation held at 4.
Data released by the Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development show headline annual CPI inflation across its 38 member countries remained generally stable at 4.2 % in September 2025, up from 4.1 % in August. Energy inflation rose markedly to 3.1 % year-on-year (from 0.8 %) due to base effects, while food inflation remained near 5.0 %. In the G7, headline inflation held at 2.8 % year-on-year. Analysts say the data underlines persistent inflation risks and complicates central-bank easing plans globally.
