Recent data reveals a notable deceleration in Estonia’s inflation rates, providing much-needed respite for consumers grappling with rising living costs. After several months of sustained upward pressure, the inflation rate has settled at a five-month low, signaling a potential stabilization in price levels across key sectors. Experts attribute this easing to a combination of improved supply chain conditions and moderated energy prices, which have collectively alleviated cost pressures on everyday goods and services.

  • Core inflation softened, reflecting lower increases in food and transport costs.
  • Household purchasing power showed signs of recovery amid slower price growth.
  • Central bank officials remain cautiously optimistic but vigilant regarding external risks.
