Belgium’s consumer price dynamics strengthened at the start of 2026, with the country’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.44% month-over-month in January. The latest data, updated on 29 January 2026, marks a clear acceleration from December 2025, when the CPI increased by just 0.07% compared with November.
The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, meaning January’s “actual” reading reflects the change in prices from December to January, while the “previous” figure captures the change from November to December. The pickup from 0.07% to 0.44% suggests that price pressures have intensified heading into the new year, potentially signaling a shift in short-term inflation momentum within Belgium’s economy.
