Kuwait’s consumer price inflation edged lower in February 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.92% year-on-year, down slightly from the 1.99% annual pace recorded in January 2026. The data, updated on 07 April 2026, indicate a modest cooling in price pressures compared with the start of the year.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing February and January 2026, respectively, to the same months a year earlier. The marginal decline suggests inflation remains contained, with no sharp acceleration in consumer prices as Kuwait moves further into 2026. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to see whether this easing trend continues or stabilizes around current levels.
