Lithuania’s consumer price dynamics turned positive in June 2026, with the month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 0.5%, according to data updated on 9 July 2026. This marks a clear reversal from May 2026, when prices had slipped by 0.1% on a monthly basis.

The June reading, measured on a month-over-month basis, shows that consumer prices grew compared with May, after having fallen in May compared with April. The shift from a -0.1% decline to a 0.5% increase suggests a firming of price pressures in the Lithuanian economy over the early summer period.

The comparison framework indicates that “actual” data reflect the change in June relative to May 2026, while the “previous” figure captured the change in May relative to April 2026. This sharper monthly acceleration will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers assessing the direction of inflation after a brief deflationary pause in late spring.
