Latvia’s consumer price growth eased markedly in April 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 0.60%, down from a 1.90% increase in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 12 May 2026, point to a notable loss of momentum in short‑term inflationary pressures.
The figures show that while prices are still climbing compared with the previous month, the pace of increase has slowed considerably. In March, the CPI had accelerated by 1.90% versus February, but April’s 0.60% rise suggests a calmer pricing environment heading into late spring.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” April reading compares the change in prices from March to April, while the “previous” figure reflects the change from February to March. The sharp deceleration between these two periods highlights a cooling in Latvia’s near‑term inflation dynamics.
