Austria’s consumer price inflation eased marginally in October 2026, with the year-on-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading coming in at 3.60%, down from 3.68% in September 2026. The data, updated on 4 November 2026, reflect a modest deceleration in price growth on an annual comparison basis.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price level with the same month a year earlier. The slight decline in October suggests that inflationary pressures, while still present, may be gradually stabilizing after elevated levels seen in prior periods.
The October figure will be closely watched by markets and policymakers as they assess the trajectory of inflation in Austria and its potential implications for monetary and fiscal policy in the coming months.
