Latvia’s consumer prices accelerated sharply in March 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.90% month-over-month, according to data updated on 10 April 2026. The move marks a notable pickup from February 2026, when monthly inflation had been subdued at just 0.20%.
The comparison is based on month-over-month dynamics, meaning the March figure reflects price changes versus February 2026, while the earlier 0.20% reading for February was measured against January 2026. The steep rise suggests a clear turnaround in short-term price momentum after a relatively flat period, signaling that inflationary pressures in Latvia intensified as the first quarter drew to a close.
