Denmark’s consumer price index (CPI) rebounded sharply in February 2026, posting a 1.00% month‑over‑month increase after a notable 0.60% decline in January. The latest figures, updated on 10 March 2026, mark a clear reversal from the price contraction seen at the start of the year.
On a month‑over‑month basis, the “actual” February reading compares the change in prices from January to February 2026, while the “previous” figure reflected January’s movement against December 2025. The shift from ‑0.60% in January to +1.00% in February suggests a renewed upward momentum in consumer prices, signaling a stronger inflation pulse after a brief deflationary episode.
For markets and policymakers, the turnaround highlights the volatility in short‑term price dynamics and will likely prompt closer scrutiny of whether February’s rise represents the start of a more sustained inflation trend or a one‑off correction following January’s pullback.
