Lithuania’s consumer price inflation picked up in September 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 6.7%, up from 6.1% in August 2026. The data, updated on 8 October 2026, indicate a renewed acceleration in price growth after a brief period of moderation.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, meaning September’s 6.7% reading measures price changes relative to September a year earlier, while August’s 6.1% reflected the change compared with August of the previous year. The increase suggests that inflationary pressures in Lithuania remain elevated and have strengthened again at the end of the third quarter.
The latest CPI data will be closely watched by businesses, consumers and policymakers, as the uptick in annual inflation may influence expectations for costs, wages and potential policy responses in the months ahead.
