Oman’s consumer price inflation eased in October 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.9%, down from 3.2% in September 2026. The latest data, updated on 12 November 2026, indicate a modest cooling in price pressures across the economy.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring price changes relative to the same month a year earlier. The October figure suggests inflation is decelerating compared with September’s pace, potentially offering some relief to households and businesses after a period of higher annual price growth.
While the data release does not break down category-level movements, the moderation in the headline CPI could be interpreted by markets and policymakers as a sign that inflationary pressures are stabilizing heading into the final months of 2026.
