FX.co ★ Dutch Inflation Cools Further as January CPI Eases to 2.4% YoY

Consumer price growth in the Netherlands slowed in January, with the Dutch Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.4% year-over-year, down from 2.8% previously. The latest reading, comparing January 2026 to January a year earlier, underscores a continued easing in inflationary pressures across the Dutch economy.

According to the updated data published on 12 February 2026, the previous figure of 2.8% also reflected a year-over-year change, measuring price growth in the prior month against the same month a year before. The decline to 2.4% suggests that while prices are still rising, the pace of increase is moderating, offering some relief to households and potentially shaping expectations around monetary policy and wage negotiations.

The year-over-year comparison framework highlights how inflation dynamics are evolving over time rather than month to month, indicating that the disinflation trend is gaining traction as annual price growth continues to edge lower.
