FX.co ★ Belgium Inflation Edges Higher to 3.56% in July on Annual Basis

Belgium’s consumer price inflation accelerated slightly in July 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 3.56%, up from 3.40% in June 2026. The data, updated on 30 July 2026, indicate a modest pickup in price pressures compared with the same month a year earlier.

Under the comparison methodology used, the July figure reflects how prices have changed versus July of the previous year, while the June reading measured the change against June a year earlier. The uptick suggests that inflationary pressures remain present in the Belgian economy, though the move is relatively small in magnitude.

The latest reading will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation in Belgium and its implications for household purchasing power and potential future policy responses.
