Oman’s consumer price inflation picked up in February 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 2.0% year-over-year, up from 1.4% in January 2026. The data, updated on 18 March 2026, show a clear acceleration in price growth compared with the same month a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, meaning February’s 2.0% figure reflects how prices have changed compared with February 2025, while January’s 1.4% captured the change versus January 2025. The move from 1.4% to 2.0% suggests inflationary pressures in Oman are strengthening as 2026 progresses, a development that will be closely watched by policymakers, businesses, and investors monitoring the cost environment in the Sultanate.
