Switzerland’s consumer price inflation picked up in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 0.6%, up from 0.3% in March 2026. The data, updated on 05 May 2026, show that price pressures, while still modest by international standards, have strengthened compared with the same period a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring how prices in each month changed relative to the corresponding month of the prior year. The move from 0.3% to 0.6% suggests a gradual firming in inflation dynamics, which investors and policymakers will monitor closely for signals on the future trajectory of Swiss monetary conditions.
