flag South Africa's inflation rose to 3.6% in October 2025, the highest in over a year, up from 3.4% in September, driven by higher transport, recreation, and food costs. flag Transport inflation turned positive after 13 months of deflation, led by rising fuel prices, while meat prices, especially beef, remained elevated. flag Food inflation eased slightly to 3.9%, with some items like sugar and confectionery declining, but cereals, eggs, and seafood rose. flag The Consumer Price Index increased 0.1% month-on-month, with housing and utilities contributing significantly. flag Regional disparities persist, and low-income households face greater pressure on essential goods. flag The data precedes the South African Reserve Bank’s upcoming monetary policy decision.
