Core consumer prices in the Euro Zone rose slightly in July, with the Core CPI climbing to 2.5% year-over-year, up from 2.4% previously. Both readings are measured on an annual basis, comparing price changes in each July to the same month a year earlier.

The data, updated on 19 August 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in underlying inflation pressures across the currency bloc. Core CPI strips out volatile components such as food and energy, making it a closely watched gauge of persistent price dynamics and a key reference point for policymakers assessing the medium-term inflation trend in the Euro Zone.
