Italy’s consumer inflation picked up pace in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 5.4% year-over-year, according to data updated on 30 October 2026. This marks an acceleration from September 2026, when the annual CPI increase stood at 4.2%.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, measuring price changes in October 2026 against those in October 2025. The previous reading compared September 2026 prices with those of September 2025. The latest data suggest renewed inflationary pressure in Italy after a period of relatively slower price growth, a development that will be closely watched by policymakers and financial markets.
