*The Dominican Republic’s central bank (BCRD) has announced that monthly inflation stood at 0.21% in June 2025, bringing the annual rate to 3.56%. Monthly inflation in June was up from a rate of 0.08% in May and 0.03% in April, while annual inflation was down from May’s rate of 3.84% and 3.71% in April. The BCRD emphasised that the annual inflation rate has remained within the target range of 4.0% ± 1.0% for the last 26 months, since May 2023. The 0.21% monthly inflation rate was primarily attributed to continued reductions in prices in categories including food and non-alcoholic drinks, which recorded inflation of -0.02% in June, following results of -0.16% in May and -0.17% in April. In contrast, rising prices were reported in the categories of diverse goods and services (+0.64%), transport (+0.30%), restaurants and hotels (+0.31%), housing (+0.18%), and health (+0.33%). In June core inflation, which excludes volatile items like food and fuel, stood at 0.28% in monthly terms and at 4.15% in annual terms.
