Ireland’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) remained unchanged in April 2026, with annual inflation holding at 3.6% year-on-year, the same rate recorded in March 2026.
According to the latest data updated on 29 April 2026, the April figure represents a like-for-like comparison with April a year earlier, while the March reading reflected price changes versus March of the previous year. The stability in the HICP rate suggests that, at least for now, Ireland’s inflation pressures are neither accelerating nor easing on an annual basis, offering a measure of predictability for households, businesses and financial markets monitoring price trends.
