Lithuania’s consumer price inflation picked up in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 5.3% year-on-year, up from 4.8% in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 11 May 2026, indicate a renewed acceleration in price growth after a moderation in the previous month.
On a year-over-year basis, the April figure shows that prices in Lithuania are increasing more rapidly than they were in March, when the inflation rate had eased to 4.8% compared with March a year earlier. The current reading reflects the change in prices in April 2026 relative to April 2025, while the previous indicator measured March 2026 against March 2025.
The uptick suggests that inflationary pressures remain persistent in the Lithuanian economy, highlighting ongoing cost increases for households and potential implications for monetary and fiscal policy discussions going forward.
