Austria’s wholesale prices continued to climb in August 2026, with the year-over-year, non-seasonally adjusted index rising by 8.2%. This marks an acceleration from July 2026, when wholesale prices were up 6.9% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The latest data, updated on 7 September 2026, underline a strengthening inflation trend at the wholesale level. Both the current and previous readings compare price changes in each respective month to the same month a year before, indicating that the pace of wholesale price growth has picked up between July and August.
The rising annual rate suggests that cost pressures may be intensifying in Austria’s supply chain, potentially feeding through to producer and consumer prices if the trend persists in the coming months.
