Inflation in Trinidad & Tobago edged up slightly in November, with the year-on-year inflation rate, as the percentage change in the All Items Index for November 2025 over November 2024, went up by 0.5%. 

This marks a slight increase up from 0.4% in the previous period, October 2025/October 2024, according to the Central Statistical Office of T&T. However, the comparative figure for November 2024 over November 2023 was also 0.5 per cent, suggesting a continuation of stable year-on-year inflation trends.

On a month-over-month basis, the All Items Index rose to 125.2 in November 2025, an increase of 0.3 points or 0.2% relative to October 2025. This incremental rise underscores the gradual upward pressure on consumer prices.

This movement was driven in part by a 0.4% increase in the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages Index, which climbed from 152.2 to 152.8, reflecting higher prices for items such as cucumber, tomatoes, fresh carite, most commonly referred to as King Mackerel, chive, garlic, mixed fresh seasoning, table margarine, cheddar cheese, melon, and instant coffee. 

These increases were partially offset by lower prices for fresh whole chicken, Irish potatoes, okras, oranges, pumpkin, mauby, melongene, onions, cakes, and other local pastry products. Beyond food, the data showed a sharp 21.2% increase in the Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco sub-index. In contrast, the Clothing and Footwear and Health sub-indices declined by 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively. All other sections of the CPI remained unchanged during the period.
