Austria’s consumer price index (CPI) accelerated on a month-over-month basis in March 2026, with the indicator rising to 1.10%, up from 0.80% in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 31 March 2026, indicate a pickup in price momentum compared with the previous month.
The figures are based on a month-over-month comparison, meaning the March reading reflects the change in prices versus February, while the February figure represents the change relative to January. The move from 0.80% to 1.10% suggests that consumer prices in Austria are increasing at a faster pace as spring begins, signaling a modest strengthening in short-term inflation dynamics.
