Ireland’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) rose slightly in September 2026, with month‑on‑month inflation ticking up to 0.2%, according to data updated on 1 October 2026. This follows a modest 0.1% increase recorded in August 2026.
The September reading indicates a mild acceleration in price growth on a month‑over‑month basis. The current figure compares the change in prices in September against August, while the previous 0.1% reading reflected the change in August versus July. Although the shift is small, the back‑to‑back increases suggest underlying price pressures have inched higher as the third quarter draws to a close.
