Inflation in the Netherlands accelerated in July, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.2% year-on-year, according to data updated on 11 August 2026. The latest figure marks an increase from the previous year-on-year rate of 2.9% recorded in July 2025.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, meaning the July 2026 CPI is measured against July 2025, while the earlier 2.9% figure reflected price changes relative to the same month a year prior. The uptick to 3.2% suggests inflationary pressures in the Dutch economy have strengthened modestly compared with the earlier period.
