Italy’s consumer price inflation showed no change at the start of 2026, with the January Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.4% month-over-month, the same pace as in the previous reading. According to data updated on 23 February 2026, January’s 0.4% increase matches the month-over-month gain recorded in the prior period, indicating stable short-term price dynamics.
The comparison is based on monthly changes, with the current figure reflecting the change in prices in January relative to December, and the previous figure capturing December’s change from November. The repeated 0.4% print suggests that, at least on a month-to-month basis, inflationary pressures in Italy remained consistent as the new year began, neither accelerating nor easing compared to the prior month’s trend.
