Ireland’s consumer price inflation ticked up in October, with the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) rate rising to 4.3% year-over-year, compared with 4.1% in September 2026. The latest figures, updated on 11 November 2026, indicate a slight acceleration in price growth after a previous month of relatively slower inflation.
The October reading reflects price changes compared with the same month a year earlier, while the September figure similarly measured the annual change at that time. The move from 4.1% to 4.3% suggests inflationary pressures remain persistent in Ireland, with no further moderation yet visible in the year-over-year data. Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases closely to assess whether this uptick marks a brief fluctuation or the start of a renewed inflationary trend.
