  • For full-year 2024, average headline inflation stood at 0.4 percent, slightly below our prior estimate of 0.5 percent, while core inflation averaged 0.6 percent.
  • KResearch views that the average headline inflation may rise to 0.7 percent in 2025 as domestic energy prices are likely to remain close to current levels, while the base prices during 1H24 were low.
