FX.co ★ Oman’s Annual Inflation Accelerates to 3.6% in March, Up from 2.0% in February

Oman’s consumer price inflation picked up sharply in March 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.6%, compared with a 2.0% increase in February 2026. The latest figures, updated on 12 April 2026, point to a noticeable acceleration in price growth across the economy.

Both readings are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring how prices in each month changed relative to the same month a year earlier. The move from 2.0% in February to 3.6% in March suggests mounting inflationary pressures, which will be closely watched by policymakers, businesses, and investors assessing the outlook for costs and consumer purchasing power in Oman.
