Ireland’s consumer prices moved back into positive territory in June 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.3% month-on-month, according to data updated on 9 July 2026. The result marks a reversal from May 2026, when prices declined by 0.1% compared with April.
On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading shows a modest but clear uptick in price momentum. While May’s negative print signaled a slight easing in price pressures, June’s positive move suggests a stabilization in consumer inflation as the Irish economy progresses through mid-2026.
The month-on-month comparison reflects how prices in June changed relative to May, while the previous figure measured May’s change against April. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether June’s increase represents the start of a firmer inflation trend or a one-off adjustment following May’s dip.
