Austria’s consumer price inflation accelerated in October 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) increasing by 0.30%, up from 0.19% in September 2026. The latest figures, updated on 4 November 2026, point to a pickup in price pressures after a more moderate rise in the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” October reading shows that prices grew at a faster pace compared with September, when the CPI had risen by 0.19% versus August. The comparison framework underscores that October’s figure reflects a stronger short‑term inflation pulse, which may draw attention from policymakers and market participants monitoring the trajectory of consumer prices in Austria.
