Denmark’s Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) picked up pace in May 2026, with the annual rate rising to 1.80% year-on-year, according to data updated on 10 June 2026. This marks an acceleration from April 2026, when the HICP stood at 1.20% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures show that inflationary pressures in Denmark have firmed between April and May, on a year-over-year basis. The “actual” May reading reflects price changes relative to May of the previous year, while the “previous” April reading compared prices to April a year earlier, indicating that consumer price growth has strengthened as the second quarter progresses.
