Croatia Inflation Rate

Croatia's inflation rate reached 4.2% in September 2025, up from 4.1% in August 2025. This is the highest rate since December 2023. The increase is due to rising energy prices including administrative increases for gas, electricity and heat in late 2024 and early 2025. Higher food price inflation also contributed. Strong domestic demand enabled producers to pass on increased costs. Croatia's record low inflation rate was -1.8% in May 2016 and record high was 13.5% in November 2022.
