Austria’s consumer price inflation slowed markedly in May 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising just 0.10%, down from 0.39% in April 2026. The fresh data, updated on 2 June 2026, signal a clear deceleration in short‑term price momentum.
On a month‑over‑month basis, May’s figure shows that price growth has cooled compared with the previous period, when April’s CPI had increased by 0.39% versus March. The latest reading suggests that inflationary pressures in Austria may be easing at the margin, an important signal for policymakers, businesses, and investors tracking the near‑term trajectory of consumer prices.
