Qatar’s Inflation Rises to Its Highest Level in 2025, Reaching 1.15% in September
Qatar’s inflation rate accelerated in September 2025, reaching 1.15% year-on-year, compared to 0.73% in August, marking the highest monthly level recorded this year, according to data from the National Planning Council on consumer prices.
The data showed that six main groups recorded price increases, led by the miscellaneous goods and services group, which jumped by 12.57%, followed by the clothing and footwear group, which rose by 2.93%.
Conversely, prices declined in five main groups, most notably the restaurants and hotels group, which fell by 1.48%, followed by the transportation group, which dropped by 1.12% compared to the same month last year.
This rise in the overall consumer price index reflects continued inflationary pressures in certain service and consumer sectors, despite a relative decline in others such as transport and hospitality.
