Switzerland’s consumer price growth slowed in May 2026, with the month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.2%, down from a 0.3% increase in April 2026. The latest figure, updated on 4 June 2026, points to a further easing in short-term price pressures in the Swiss economy.
On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” May reading compares price changes in May to April, while the “previous” figure reflects April’s increase versus March. The step down from 0.3% to 0.2% suggests a modest cooling in momentum, which may be closely watched by markets assessing the inflation outlook and potential implications for monetary policy.
