Ukraine’s consumer price inflation picked up in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 8.6%, up from 7.9% in March 2026. The data, updated on 7 May 2026, indicate a further acceleration in price growth compared with the same period a year earlier.
The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, where the current reading reflects the change in prices in April 2026 versus April 2025, and the previous reading shows March 2026 compared with March 2025. The upward move from 7.9% to 8.6% suggests building inflationary pressure in the Ukrainian economy, which will be closely watched by policymakers and market participants.
