Ireland’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) in October 2026 slowed to a month-on-month increase of 0.1%, down from 0.2% in the previous month. The latest data, updated on 11 November 2026, indicate a further cooling in short-term price pressures.
The October reading compares the change in prices from September to October, while the previous 0.2% figure reflected the change from August to September. The moderation from 0.2% to 0.1% on a month-over-month basis suggests that the pace of inflation, as measured by the HICP, is losing momentum in Ireland as the year progresses. Investors and policymakers will be watching subsequent releases to see whether this softer monthly trend consolidates into a more sustained easing of inflation.
