Qatar’s consumer price inflation eased in August 2026, with the CPI rising 0.52% month-on-month, down from a 0.71% increase recorded in July 2026. The latest figures, updated on 02 November 2026, indicate a moderation in the pace of price growth over the late summer period.
On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” August reading reflects price changes compared with July, while the “previous” July figure captures changes from June to July. The slowdown from 0.71% to 0.52% suggests that although prices continued to climb in August, the momentum of inflationary pressures softened compared with the prior month. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this signals the beginning of a more sustained cooling in consumer prices.
