The Euro Zone’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), not seasonally adjusted, registered a sharp decline in January 2026, falling to 100.05 from a previous level of 129.54 in the same month. Both readings are dated January 2026, indicating a substantial downward revision or recalculation of the index rather than a typical month‑to‑month movement.
The updated figure, released on 25 February 2026, suggests a significant reset in the headline price index level, which may reflect methodological changes, base-year adjustments, or data revisions within the statistical framework. With the current CPI (n.s.a.) now at 100.05, market participants and policymakers will be watching closely to assess how this recalibrated price benchmark alters interpretations of inflation dynamics and real purchasing power across the Euro Zone.
