Consumer Price Index, June 2025
Released: 2025-07-15
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.9% on a year-over-year basis in June, up from a 1.7% increase in May.
Headline inflation grew at a faster pace, as gasoline prices fell to a lesser extent in June (-13.4%) than in May (-15.5%). Additionally, faster price growth for some durable goods, such as passenger vehicles and furniture, put upward pressure on the CPI in June.
Year over year, the CPI excluding energy (+2.7%) remained higher than the CPI in June, partly due to the removal of consumer carbon pricing in April.
On a monthly basis, the CPI rose 0.1% in June. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, the CPI was up 0.2%.

Base-year effect on gasoline prices puts upward pressure on Consumer Price Index
While consumers continued to pay less at the pump on a year-over-year basis in June (-13.4%), the decline was smaller than in May (-15.5%). The smaller decline was a result of a larger month-over-month decrease in June 2024 (-3.1%) compared with June 2025 (-0.7%). Gasoline prices were nearly unchanged in June, as lower refining margins were offset by higher crude oil prices amid geopolitical conflicts.

Durable goods prices rise at a faster pace year over year
Prices for durable goods accelerated on a year-over-year basis; they rose 2.7% in June after increasing 2.0% in May.
Passenger vehicle prices rose 4.1% year over year in June following a 3.2% increase in May. Used passenger vehicle prices rose 1.7% in June after declining 0.1% in May, with price growth occurring amid tighter inventories. This was the first year-over-year increase in used passenger vehicle prices in 18 months.
Prices for new passenger vehicles rose at a faster pace in June (+5.2%) than in May (+4.9%).
Furniture prices also rose at a faster pace in June (+3.3%) compared with May (+0.1%).
At the same time, prices for household appliances fell 0.4% in June after increasing 2.6% in May.
Clothing and footwear prices accelerate in June
Prices for clothing and footwear rose 2.0% year over year in June after increasing 0.5% in May. This acceleration was largely due to the women's clothing index, which was unchanged in June following a 2.5% decline in May. Uncertainty surrounding international trade put upward pressure on prices for clothing and footwear in June, as the industry faced higher costs in the wake of tariffs.

Grocery prices increase at a slower pace
Prices for food purchased from stores rose 2.8% year over year in June following a 3.3% increase in May. The slower growth was largely a result of fresh vegetable prices, which declined 3.1% year over year in June following a 1.0% increase in May. This decline was the first since October 2021 and was driven by lower prices for onions (-10.3%) and cucumbers (-18.3%).
Focus on Canada and the United States
Tariffs affect many facets of the economy, including inflation. The imposition of tariffs by the United States and countermeasure tariffs by the Canadian government can result in varying effects on final consumer prices. Read more about the potential impacts of US tariffs on the Bank of Canada's website.
No special adjustments to the Consumer Price Index will be required for tariffs, as their effect is embedded in the final prices collected.
Statistics Canada will continue to monitor developments on tariffs and the impact on consumer price inflation.
