Austria’s inflation eases to 3.2% in June 2026

Austria’s consumer‑price inflation slowed to an annual 3.2 % in June 2026, down from 3.7 % in May, according to a provisional estimate by Statistik Austria. The moderation was driven primarily by weaker energy price pressure; fuel and heating‑oil price growth fell to 5.4 % from May’s 9.8 %.

Food, tobacco and alcohol prices also eased, rising 1.5 % versus 2.2 % a month earlier, while services remained the main inflation driver at a 4.4 % annual pace. Core inflation was recorded at 3.3 % and the harmonised HICP at 3.1 % year‑on‑year.

Statistik Austria’s director Manuela Lenk said, "Die um 0,5 Prozentpunkte niedrigere Teuerung geht vor allem darauf zurück, dass Treibstoffe, aber auch Heizöl, im Juni weit weniger preistreibend als im Vormonat wirkten." Final figures are due on 17 July 2026.
