Consumer prices in Fiji fell by 0.85% year-on-year in March 2026, following a 0.5% decline in February. This was the third consecutive month of deflation, driven primarily by lower prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages (-1.9% vs -1.5% in February). Further downward pressure came from transport (-8.8% vs -6.4%), housing (-3.0% vs -2.8%), clothing and footwear (-1.9% vs -2.5%), recreation and culture (-3.1% vs -2.3%), and furnishings, household equipment, and routine household maintenance (-0.8% vs -0.5%).

These declines were partly offset by rising prices for alcoholic beverages and tobacco (12.2% vs 9.5%), education (0.4% vs 0.4%), and miscellaneous goods and services (3.7% vs 4.2%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices inched up 0.1% in March, slowing from a 1.0% increase in February.
