The Consumer Price Index rose by 0.4% in September 2025 due to an increase in food and non-food prices
The High Commission for Planning has reported that the Consumer Price Index registered an increase of 0.4% in September compared to the same month last year.
In its news bulletin regarding the Consumer Price Index for September 2025, the Commission explained that this rise was the result of a 0.5% increase in food prices and a 0.4% increase in non-food prices.
The same source noted that the rate of change for non-food items ranged from a decrease of 2.4% for “transport” to an increase of 2.9% for “restaurants and hotels.”
Compared to August, the Consumer Price Index recorded an increase of 0.2%.
This change is attributed to a 0.2% rise in both food and non-food indices. The increases in food prices observed between August and September 2025 particularly included “vegetables” rising by 2.6%, “fruits” by 0.5%, “meat” by 0.4%, and “bread and cereals,” “milk, cheese, and eggs,” and “coffee, tea, and cocoa” by 0.1%.
Conversely, prices for “oils and fats” decreased by 2.1%, “fish and seafood” by 0.6%, and “mineral water, soft drinks, and fruit and vegetable juices” by 0.3%.
Regarding non-food items, the decline mainly concerned “fuels,” which fell by 2.2%.
The Consumer Price Index recorded the highest increases in Errachidia by 0.9%, Laayoune by 0.6%, Rabat by 0.5%, and in Casablanca, Dakhla, Guelmim, and Beni Mellal by 0.4%, with Marrakech and Settat rising by 0.2%.
In contrast, decreases were recorded in Al Hoceima by 2.4%, Meknes by 0.4%, Fez by 0.3%, and in Kenitra and Tangier by 0.2%, with Tetouan experiencing a decline of 0.1%.
Thus, the core inflation index, which excludes items with fixed prices and those with high volatility, remained stable in September compared to August, with a 0.3% increase compared to September 2024.
