Latvia’s consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.20% month-on-month in February 2026, marking a modest return to price growth after a flat reading at the start of the year. The latest data, updated on 10 March 2026, show that prices had been unchanged in January 2026, when the CPI registered 0.00% compared with December.
The February figure indicates that, on a month-over-month basis, price dynamics have shifted from stagnation to slight inflation. Under the comparison methodology, the “actual” value reflects the change from January to February 2026, while the “previous” value captures the change from December 2025 to January 2026. With the CPI now moving into positive territory, markets and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases for signs of whether this uptick consolidates into a more sustained inflation trend. \/body
