Luxembourg Inflation Rises to 15-Month High

The annual inflation rate in Luxembourg rose to 2.4% in August 2025 from 2.3% in the previous month. The latest figure marked the highest reading since May last year, mainly driven by higher prices of clothing and footwear (0.5% vs -1.9% in July), health (1.3% vs 0.8%), and transport (1% vs 0.3%). Additionally, costs declined at a softer pace for communication (-0.6% vs -1.6%).
