Latvia’s consumer price inflation moderated in September 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 0.20%, down from 0.30% in August 2026. The fresh data, updated on 8 October 2026, indicate a slight cooling in short‑term price pressures in the Latvian economy.

On a month‑over‑month basis, the current reading shows that prices are still increasing, but at a slower pace than in the previous period. In August, CPI grew by 0.30% compared with July, while in September the increase versus August was a more modest 0.20%. This deceleration suggests inflationary momentum may be stabilizing, which could be a supportive signal for households’ purchasing power and may influence expectations around monetary and fiscal policy decisions going forward.

The comparison is strictly month‑over‑month: the “actual” figure for September reflects the change from August to September, while the “previous” figure captures the change from July to August. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this softer inflation trend persists into the final quarter of 2026.
