Austria’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) continued to moderate in October 2026, with the month‑on‑month rate easing to 0.4%, down from 0.7% in September. The latest reading, updated on 4 November 2026, signals a further cooling in short‑term price momentum across the Austrian economy.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the October figure reflects a slower pace of price increases compared with the previous month, when September’s 0.7% rise was measured against August. The ongoing deceleration suggests inflationary pressures are weakening, a development that will be closely watched by investors and policymakers assessing the trajectory of prices in Austria and across the euro area.
