Consumer prices increased by 0.3% in April

05.05.2026 - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.3% in April 2026 compared with the previous month, reaching 101.1 points (December 2025 = 100). Inflation was +0.6% compared with the same month of the previous year. These are the results of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

The 0.3% increase compared with the previous month is due to several factors including rising prices for petrol, diesel and heating oil. Prices for air transport also recorded a price increase, as did those for international package holidays. In contrast, prices for hotels and supplementary accommodation decreased, as did those for car rental and car sharing.
