FX.co ★ Lithuania’s Inflation Edges Up to 5.5% in May, Halting Prior Cooling Trend

Lithuania’s consumer price growth accelerated modestly in May 2026, with year-over-year CPI rising to 5.5%, up from 5.3% in April 2026. The latest data, updated on 8 June 2026, indicate a slight uptick in inflationary pressure after a period of relative stabilization.

Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels to the same month a year earlier. The move from 5.3% to 5.5% suggests that, while inflation remains elevated, the pace of increase is not dramatically diverging from recent trends, but it does signal that price pressures have not yet decisively eased in Lithuania.
