FX.co ★ Lithuania’s Inflation Ticks Up to 6.1% in August, Halting Recent Cooling Trend

Lithuania’s consumer price inflation accelerated slightly in August 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaching 6.1%, up from 5.9% in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 08 September 2026, indicate a modest re-acceleration in price growth after a period of gradual easing.

Measured on a year-over-year basis, the August figure compares the price level in August 2026 with that of August 2025, while the July reading reflected a comparison with July 2025. The uptick suggests that price pressures, while no longer at previous peaks, remain persistent in Lithuania’s economy.

The shift from 5.9% to 6.1% interrupts the previous downward trajectory in inflation and will likely draw attention from policymakers and market participants watching for signs of renewed inflationary momentum in the Baltic state.
