Oman’s consumer price inflation picked up in July 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.2% year-on-year, up from 2.8% previously. The latest data, updated on 13 August 2026, point to a modest acceleration in price growth compared with the earlier reading.
Both the current and previous figures are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each July reading with the same month a year earlier. The “previous” 2.8% rate reflects the earlier comparable reading, while the latest 3.2% print shows that inflationary pressures have strengthened over the most recent period. For policymakers and investors, the uptick suggests a slightly firmer inflation backdrop in Oman as of mid-2026.
