FX.co ★ Hungary’s April CPI Holds Steady at 0.40% Month-on-Month, Signalling Inflation Pause

Hungary’s consumer price inflation remained unchanged in April 2026, with the month-on-month CPI holding at 0.40%, the same pace recorded in March 2026. The fresh data, updated on 8 May 2026, indicate that price growth neither accelerated nor slowed compared to the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, April’s “actual” figure reflects the change from March to April, while the “previous” figure captures the change from February to March. With both readings at 0.40%, the data suggest a short-term stabilization in inflation dynamics, which may offer policymakers and investors a clearer, if still tentative, backdrop for assessing the trajectory of prices in Hungary.
