Latvia’s producer price inflation accelerated modestly in July 2026, with the Producer Price Index (PPI) rising 3.5% year-over-year, up from 3.3% in June 2026. The latest data, updated on 21 August 2026, signal a slight strengthening in cost pressures at the producer level compared with the previous month.
On a year-over-year basis, the July reading compares the change in producer prices to July of the previous year, while June’s 3.3% represented a similar comparison with June a year earlier. The uptick suggests that Latvian producers are facing marginally higher input or output price increases than earlier in the summer, a development that market participants may watch closely for potential pass-through to consumer prices and corporate margins in the coming months.
