Austria’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in May 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.70% year-on-year, matching the previous reading. According to data updated on 17 June 2026, the annual rate of inflation has thus stayed at the same level as in the prior month.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, with the current May 2026 data measured against price levels in May of the previous year. Likewise, the previous 3.70% figure reflected the change in prices for the earlier month versus the same month a year before. The stability in Austria’s CPI suggests that, at least for now, underlying price pressures are neither intensifying nor easing on an annual basis.
