Slovakia’s core consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.2% month-over-month in September 2026, according to data updated on 15 October 2026, marking a modest acceleration after a flat reading in August. The previous month’s core CPI had registered 0.0% in August 2026 compared with July, indicating that underlying price pressures had temporarily paused.
The September uptick suggests that core inflation — which strips out more volatile components — is regaining some momentum on a month-over-month basis. While the increase is small, the shift from zero to positive growth in core prices will likely be monitored closely by analysts assessing the trajectory of underlying inflation in Slovakia as the final quarter of 2026 begins.
