Austria’s Producer Price Index (PPI) remained unchanged in February 2026, registering a year-over-year decline of 1.4%, the same rate recorded in January 2026. The data, updated on 30 March 2026, indicate a continued period of producer price deflation, with no additional deterioration or improvement compared with the previous month.
On a year-over-year basis, the February reading confirms that Austrian producers are still facing lower output prices than a year earlier, which can help contain consumer inflation but may pressure corporate margins in price-sensitive sectors. The stability of the indicator at -1.4% suggests that, for now, downward price pressures in the production sector have neither intensified nor eased as the year progresses.
