Inflation up despite utility bill drop
The latest inflation numbers were mostly bad news for Cayman’s consumers, with prices across the island still rising.
The Consumer Price Index published by the Economics and Statistics Office on 6 Oct. showed prices rose at an annualised rate of 1.9% in the second quarter of 2025.
That’s a relatively modest increase by international standards, with the US, Canada, UK and Eurozone all having higher rates of inflation.
Not only are prices higher but the amount they increased – i.e. the rate of inflation – between April to June 2025, is higher than the 1.7% increase over the same time period last year. For a more complete summary of the story, please see the below link:
