Algiers, Algeria – Algeria’s annual inflation rate experienced a slowdown in October 2025, reaching 1.7%, according to the latest data released by the National Statistics Office (ONS). This marks a decrease compared to the 2.2% inflation rate recorded in September.
The ONS report indicates a cooling of price pressures across several sectors of the Algerian economy. While the report does not delve into specific sectorial breakdowns, the overall trend suggests a moderation in the rising cost of goods and services for Algerian consumers.
Economists are closely watching inflation trends globally, and Algeria is no exception. The slowdown in inflation could be attributed to a variety of factors, including government policies aimed at controlling prices, fluctuations in global commodity markets, and domestic supply-demand dynamics. Further analysis will be needed to pinpoint the precise drivers behind this downward trend.
The Algerian government has prioritized maintaining price stability as a key objective of its economic policy. The central bank has implemented measures to manage liquidity and curb inflationary pressures. The impact of these policies is now becoming apparent.
While a lower inflation rate is generally viewed positively, it is important to note that excessively low inflation can also pose challenges to economic growth. Policymakers will need to carefully monitor the situation to ensure that inflation remains within a healthy range.
The National Statistics Office is expected to release more detailed data in the coming weeks, providing a more granular view of the factors contributing to the slowdown in inflation. DZWatch will continue to monitor these developments and provide updates as they become available.
The next inflation report from the ONS will be keenly anticipated by businesses, consumers, and economists alike, as it will provide further insights into the trajectory of the Algerian economy.
