Greece’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose sharply in April 2026, with the year-over-year rate accelerating to 4.6%, up from 3.4% in March 2026. The latest reading, updated on 8 May 2026, underscores a renewed build-up of inflationary pressure in the Greek economy.
Both the current and previous figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month with the same month a year earlier. The move from 3.4% in March to 4.6% in April suggests that price growth is gaining momentum rather than stabilizing, a development likely to draw close attention from policymakers and investors monitoring the inflation outlook in the euro area’s periphery.
