Austria’s consumer price inflation cooled sharply in February 2026, with the CPI rising 2.00% year-over-year, down from 3.76% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 25 February 2026, show that inflation is now much closer to the European Central Bank’s medium-term target of 2%, easing pressure on households and policymakers alike.

Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring price changes in each month relative to the same month a year earlier. January’s 3.76% indicated still-elevated price growth, but the February move to 2.00% signals a notable deceleration in inflation dynamics within just one month.

The sharp moderation in Austria’s inflation rate could influence expectations for monetary policy in the euro area, as cooling price pressures across member states are a key consideration for the ECB’s future interest rate decisions. Investors and analysts will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether February’s slowdown marks the start of a more sustained period of price stability.
