Estonia’s consumer price growth continued to cool in July 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading easing to 2.20%, down from 2.30% in June 2026. The data, updated on 7 August 2026, indicate a modest but steady slowdown in inflationary pressures.

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 slight deceleration suggests that price increases in the Estonian economy are moderating, potentially offering some relief to households and businesses after prior periods of stronger inflation.

While the change from June to July is small, the continued downward movement in the annual CPI rate may be seen as a sign of increased price stability, a factor closely watched by policymakers, investors and consumers alike as they assess the trajectory of Estonia’s economy for the remainder of 2026.
