Ukraine’s consumer price momentum eased in October 2026, with the month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.8%, down from a 2.1% increase in September. The latest data, updated on 10 November 2026, point to a modest slowdown in short-term inflationary pressure.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” October figure of 1.8% compares the change in prices from October to September, while the “previous” 2.1% reading reflected the price change from September relative to August. This deceleration suggests that, although prices are still climbing, the pace of increase has moderated slightly as the autumn period progresses.

Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether October’s softer reading marks the start of a more sustained cooling in inflation or merely a brief pause after September’s stronger uptick in consumer prices.
