Belgium’s consumer price inflation ticked up in February 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 1.45%, compared with 1.10% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 26 February 2026, indicate a modest firming of price pressures in the Belgian economy.
Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels to the same month a year earlier. The move from 1.10% to 1.45% suggests that while inflation remains relatively contained, it is moving slightly higher, a development that investors and policymakers will monitor closely for potential implications for household purchasing power and future monetary policy signals within the euro area context.
