The Czech Republic’s consumer price index (CPI) rose 2.5% year-over-year in September 2026, unchanged from the 2.5% annual increase recorded in September 2025. According to data updated on 13 October 2026, inflation has effectively stabilized at the same rate as a year earlier, keeping price growth in line with the Czech National Bank’s typical inflation target range.
The unchanged September reading suggests that underlying price pressures remain contained on a year-over-year basis, with no acceleration or deceleration in headline inflation compared with the same month last year. For policymakers and markets, the stability of CPI at 2.5% year-on-year provides a relatively predictable backdrop for monetary policy and economic planning going into the final quarter of 2026.
