Austria’s producer price inflation strengthened in September 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) rising 6.0% year-over-year, up from 4.7% in August 2026. The data, updated on 30 October 2026, indicate a further build-up of cost pressures at the factory gate compared with the same month a year earlier.
The pickup in the annual PPI rate suggests that input and production costs for Austrian businesses continued to climb more rapidly as summer turned to autumn. On a year-over-year basis, the September reading shows a sharper increase than in August, underscoring a potentially more inflationary environment for the country’s producers as higher wholesale prices work their way through the supply chain.
