Greece’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose to 3.7% year-over-year in August 2026, up from 2.7% in July 2026, according to data updated on 9 September 2026. The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring price changes in August 2026 against August 2025, while the previous reading compared July 2026 to July 2025.
The one‑percentage‑point increase signals a notable acceleration in consumer price growth within the euro area benchmark measure. The upward move in August follows a more moderate pace in July, suggesting that inflationary pressures in Greece have intensified as the summer progressed.
