Austria’s consumer price inflation ticked slightly higher in April 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.30% year-on-year, up from 3.27% in March 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 April 2026, confirm a marginal acceleration in price growth compared with the same period a year earlier.

On a year-over-year basis, April’s reading reflects the change in prices relative to April of the previous year, while March’s 3.27% figure was measured against March a year earlier. The modest uptick suggests that, although inflationary pressures remain contained compared with the peak levels seen in recent global price surges, underlying price momentum in Austria has not yet fully subsided.

For policymakers and market participants, the slight increase underscores the importance of monitoring upcoming data to determine whether April’s move represents a brief fluctuation or the beginning of a more persistent trend in Austrian consumer prices.
