Slovakia’s consumer price growth slowed sharply in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising just 0.1%, down from a 1.8% increase in January 2026. The fresh data, updated on 13 March 2026, point to a marked deceleration in short‑term price pressures.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the February reading compares the change in prices from January to February, while the previous figure reflects the change from December 2025 to January 2026. The steep drop from 1.8% to 0.1% indicates that the surge in prices seen at the start of the year has largely faded, suggesting a more stable inflation environment heading into spring. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this near‑stall in price growth proves temporary or marks the start of a more sustained period of subdued inflation in Slovakia.
