FX.co ★ Oman Slips Into Deflation as June CPI Falls 0.6% Month-on-Month

Oman’s consumer prices fell in June 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) declining 0.6% month-on-month, according to data updated on 15 July 2026. The move marks a sharp reversal from May 2026, when prices had increased by 0.5% compared with the previous month.

The latest reading indicates a month-on-month deflationary turn for the Omani economy, as the “actual” June figure is measured against May, while the “previous” figure reflects May’s change relative to April. The swing from a 0.5% rise in May to a 0.6% drop in June highlights a notable cooling in short-term price pressures.
