In a surprising economic development, Ukraine's Consumer Price Index (CPI) remained unchanged at -0.2% in August 2025, according to data updated on September 9, 2025. This stability follows a similar trend observed in July, when the CPI also recorded a decline of 0.2%.

The month-over-month comparison shows no change from July to August, signifying a period of price stability for Ukrainian consumers and businesses. The negative CPI reflects a slight deflationary trend, indicating that overall consumer prices were slightly lower in these months compared to June.

This period of stagnation in the CPI highlights the challenges in Ukraine's economic landscape, as policymakers balance between encouraging growth and maintaining control over inflationary pressures. With the economic indicators pointing towards a deflationary trend, stakeholders are keenly observing government and central bank responses to stimulate the economy and avoid potential pitfalls of prolonged deflation.
