Peru’s consumer price inflation picked up in September 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.12%, up from a 0.07% increase in August 2026. The latest data, updated on 1 October 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in price pressures compared with the previous month.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” figure for September reflects a stronger pace of price growth than in August, when inflation had slowed to 0.07% compared with July. The comparison underscores a shift from a more subdued inflation reading in August to a slightly firmer trajectory in September, suggesting that cost pressures in the Peruvian economy edged higher at the end of the third quarter.
