Austria’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) inflation rate remained unchanged in May 2026, standing at 3.7% year-on-year. The latest figure, updated on 17 June 2026, matches the previously reported 3.7% annual change, indicating a period of stability in consumer price growth.
The data reflect a year-over-year comparison, measuring the change in prices in May 2026 against May of the previous year. With both the current and previous readings aligned at 3.7%, the figures suggest that inflationary pressures, while still present, are not accelerating further on an annual basis according to the harmonised EU methodology.
