Austria’s wholesale prices rose sharply in March 2026, with the non-seasonally adjusted index increasing by 3.9% month-over-month, according to data updated on 7 April 2026. This marks a notable acceleration compared with February 2026, when wholesale prices were up 0.7% from the previous month.
The month-over-month comparison shows that price pressures at the wholesale level strengthened significantly between February and March. The “actual” March figure of 3.9% measures the change versus February, while the “previous” 0.7% reflects February’s change compared with January. The jump suggests that cost dynamics in Austria’s wholesale sector have become considerably more pronounced as the first quarter of 2026 draws to a close.
