Consumer price growth in the Netherlands eased in July 2026, with the country’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.1% year-on-year, down from 3.5% in June. The latest reading, updated on 31 July 2026, points to a moderation in inflationary pressures in the Dutch economy.
Both the June and July figures are measured against the same months a year earlier, in line with the year-over-year comparison methodology. While inflation remains above the levels typically associated with price stability, the slowdown from June suggests that the upward momentum in prices may be gradually losing steam.
The easing CPI could have implications for expectations around household purchasing power and for policymakers assessing the trajectory of inflation. Market participants and analysts will be watching upcoming data to see whether July’s softer reading marks the start of a more sustained disinflation trend in the Netherlands.
