The Office for National Statistics published the November 2025 time series of UK consumer price inflation measures on 17 December 20251. The release is described as a comprehensive database of time series covering measures of inflation data for the UK including CPIH, CPI and RPI1, and is labelled as accredited official statistics1.
The publication is a data release rather than a commentary on price movements. The page states that official statistics are produced impartially and free from political influence1. No inflation rates, monthly or annual changes, or index values for November 2025 appear in the published page text1; those figures have not been reported here.
"Comprehensive database of time series covering measures of inflation data for the UK including CPIH, CPI and RPI."
The three measures named in the release are the CPI and CPIH headline measures and RPI. The time series format means the November 2025 data sit alongside earlier months and years, so the figures can be read as a series rather than a single month in isolation1. The release carries the publication date of 17 December 20251.
Why it matters for households
Inflation figures feed into decisions that affect household money, including how pensions and some benefits are uprated, and how the cost of living is described in public debate. The November 2025 data are the latest in the series published by the ONS1. Because the release is a time series database, it does not itself set out a single headline rate in the page text1; readers looking for the November 2025 rate would need the figures themselves, which are not given in the published page text1.
The release is dated 17 December 20251, so it follows the November data collection period. Anyone tracking how prices have moved over the autumn will find the November 2025 figures in this series1.
What happens next
The ONS publishes consumer price inflation data on a monthly schedule. The next release in the series, covering December 2025, has not been dated in this publication1. The latest UK inflation figures and when they are published page tracks the release calendar.
