FX.co ★ Austria’s Inflation Eases in July as CPI Falls to 2.7% Year-on-Year

Austria’s consumer price inflation continued to cool in July 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.70% year-on-year, down from 3.21% in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 31 July 2026, signal a further easing of price pressures in the Austrian economy.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels with the same month a year earlier. The decline from June to July suggests that inflationary momentum is moderating, potentially offering some relief to households and businesses facing elevated costs in recent years.

The July figure reinforces a trend of gradual disinflation, which could influence expectations for monetary policy in the euro area and provide a more stable backdrop for Austria’s economic planning and investment decisions in the second half of 2026.
