Consumer prices in the Netherlands rebounded sharply in February 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 1.00%, according to data updated on 10 March 2026. This marks a notable turnaround from January 2026, when prices had fallen by 0.70% compared with December.
The comparison is based on month‑over‑month changes, meaning February’s 1.00% increase reflects the change in prices from January to February, while the previous reading captured the change from December to January. The shift from a 0.70% decline to a 1.00% rise suggests a clear reversal in short‑term price momentum within the Dutch economy over the start of 2026.
