Ukraine’s consumer price growth picked up in August 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 8.1% year-over-year, up from 7.7% in July 2026. The latest data, updated on 9 September 2026, indicate a continued acceleration in inflationary pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the August reading reflects the change in prices relative to August of the previous year. Similarly, July’s 7.7% reading compared prices to July of the prior year. The increase from July to August suggests that inflation momentum has strengthened, underscoring a further rise in annual consumer price growth heading into late 2026.
