Slovakia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) ticked up to 3.8% year-over-year in December, according to the latest data released on January 15, 2026. This rise from November's rate of 3.7% underscores continued inflationary pressures in the country as it steers through a range of economic challenges.
The December increase marks a slight incline compared to November 2025, where the CPI also reflected a year-over-year comparison. The steady rise in inflation highlights persistent factors influencing price levels, such as supply chain disruptions, increased energy prices, or stronger consumer demand during the holiday season.
As Slovakia navigates these inflationary trends, policymakers and businesses will closely watch the situation to gauge the impact on the economy and consider necessary interventions. This developing economic narrative will play a significant role in shaping Slovakia's financial landscape as the new year progresses.
