Peru’s consumer price inflation eased at the start of 2026, with the Month-over-Month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.10% in January 2026, down from 0.24% in December 2025. The latest data, updated on 1 February 2026, point to a moderation in short-term price pressures after a stronger monthly increase at the end of last year.
On a Month-over-Month basis, the “actual” figure for January reflects how prices changed compared with December 2025, while the “previous” 0.24% reading for December captured the change versus November 2025. The slowdown suggests that the pace of price increases has softened entering 2026, a development that may be closely watched by policymakers and markets assessing the inflation path and its implications for economic conditions in Peru.
