    What was average inflation in Finland in 2025?

    A quiet year for prices after the 2022 peak.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    Very low. Statistics Finland reports that average inflation in Finland was 0.3% in 2025. In October 2025, the annual change was minus 0.2%, mainly because of lower mortgage and consumer loan interest and cheaper electricity. Statistics Finland noted at the time that average consumer prices had hardly fallen since December 2022, when inflation peaked for the decade. So prices stayed high, they just stopped rising quickly.
