Austria’s wholesale prices rose 1.1% year-on-year in February 2026, marking a clear acceleration from the 0.4% annual increase recorded in January 2026. The data, released on 6 March 2026, refer to the non-seasonally adjusted wholesale price index and compare each month’s change with the same month a year earlier.
The pickup in February suggests that price pressures at the wholesale level are strengthening compared with the start of the year. While the increase remains moderate in absolute terms, the shift from 0.4% to 1.1% year-on-year indicates a firmer upward trend in wholesale costs that could filter through to broader price dynamics in the Austrian economy over the coming months.
