Brazil’s IGP-10 inflation index rose 1.8% in October 2026, marking an acceleration from the 1.5% increase recorded in September 2026, according to data updated on 19 October 2026. The month-over-month comparison shows that inflationary pressures measured by the IGP-10 have strengthened for the second consecutive month.

The current 1.8% reading reflects a faster pace of price increases in October compared with September, when the index had already moved higher from the previous month. With the “Actual” figure representing the change versus September and the “Previous” showing September’s change versus August, the data indicate a clear upward trend in wholesale and broader price dynamics captured by the IGP-10.

This acceleration in the IGP-10 will likely be closely watched by markets and policymakers, as it may signal building cost pressures in the Brazilian economy heading into the final months of 2026.
