Austria’s annual inflation rate edged up to 2.2% in February 2026, from a thirteen‑month low of 2.0% in January, according to preliminary estimates.

“Services were once again the main driver of inflation, with prices rising by 4.0%, after 3.8% in January. Energy prices fell by 4.1%, a significantly smaller decline than in January, when they dropped by 4.9%. Fuel prices in particular had less of a dampening effect on inflation. Prices for food, tobacco, and alcohol rose by 3.0% in February, a stronger increase than in January, when they were up 2.7%. Cigarettes in particular became noticeably more expensive in February,” said Manuela Lenk, Director General of Statistics at Statistics Austria.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.8% in February, rebounding from a 0.7% decline in the previous month.
