Oman’s consumer price inflation cooled markedly in April 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising just 0.1%, down from 1.3% in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 15 May 2026, point to a sharp deceleration in price pressures over the period.
The data show that while prices continued to edge higher in April, the pace of increase was significantly weaker than in the previous month. On a month‑over‑month basis, March’s 1.3% rise in CPI had compared to February, whereas April’s 0.1% reading reflects only a marginal change from March.
The slowdown in CPI growth suggests a cooling inflation environment in Oman as of April, based purely on short‑term, month‑to‑month movements. However, no additional detail on contributing categories or underlying drivers was provided with the latest update.
