FX.co ★ Irish HICP Holds Steady in March, Signalling Stable Price Environment

Ireland’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) remained unchanged in March 2026, holding at 1.8% on a month‑over‑month basis, according to data updated on 9 April 2026. The March reading matches the previous indicator of 1.8%, also recorded for March 2026 in the month‑over‑month comparison framework.

The stability in the HICP suggests that, on a short-term basis, consumer price pressures in Ireland neither accelerated nor eased compared with the previous month. As defined, the “actual” figure reflects the change for the reported month relative to the prior month, while the “previous” figure refers to the month‑over‑month change observed in the preceding period. The identical 1.8% readings across both measures point to a period of steady inflation dynamics in the Irish economy during March.
