Greece’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose 5.7% year-over-year in October 2026, up from 5.1% in September 2026, according to data updated on 10 November 2026. The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring price changes relative to the same month a year earlier.
The uptick in October indicates an acceleration in inflationary pressures compared with the previous month, as the September reading of 5.1% had also been measured against September a year earlier. The latest HICP print underscores that, on an annual basis, consumer prices in Greece continued to rise at a faster pace as autumn began. Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to assess whether this marks the start of a renewed upward trend or a temporary flare-up in price growth.
