FX.co ★ Slovenia Inflation Rate Rises for 3rd Month

Slovenia’s annual inflation rate climbed to 3.3% in September 2026, up from 3.0% in August, marking the third straight month of rising inflation. The increase was driven mainly by a sharp acceleration in housing and utilities inflation, which rose to 8.8% from 8.1%. Transport inflation also remained elevated, though it eased to 3.6% from 4.7%.
