Consumer price growth in the Czech Republic picked up in September 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 2.5%, up from 1.9% in August 2026. The data, updated on 06 October 2026, indicate a clear acceleration in price pressures compared with the previous month.
Both figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning the September reading compares price levels with September a year earlier, while August’s figure reflects a comparison with August of the prior year. The move from 1.9% to 2.5% suggests that inflationary momentum is strengthening as autumn begins, a development that will be closely watched by policymakers, businesses, and investors assessing the trajectory of Czech price growth.
