Hungary’s consumer price inflation edged higher in October 2026, with the year-over-year CPI rising to 2.0%, up from 1.6% in September, according to data updated on 10 November 2026. Both figures compare price changes in each respective month to the same month a year earlier.
The increase to 2.0% marks a pause in the prior downward or low-inflation trend seen in September, when Hungary’s CPI had settled at 1.6% year-over-year. The October uptick suggests that price pressures, while still relatively contained, may be stabilizing or beginning to firm after earlier moderation in consumer price growth.
