Euro Zone core consumer prices rose 0.8% month-on-month in March 2026, unchanged from the previous month’s 0.8% reading, according to data updated on 16 April 2026. The core CPI measure excludes volatile items such as energy and food, and is closely watched as a gauge of underlying inflation pressures in the currency bloc.
On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” figure for March reflects the change from February to March, while the “previous” figure captures the change from January to February. With both readings sitting at 0.8%, the data signal a stable short-term inflation trend in the core components of the Euro Zone price basket. Investors and policymakers will monitor upcoming releases to see whether this steady pace persists or begins to moderate in the months ahead.
