2026.05.1407:00:00UTC+00Slovakia’s Monthly Inflation Accelerates to 0.5% in April, Up From 0.1%

Slovakia’s consumer price dynamics strengthened in April 2026, with the country’s month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising by 0.5%. This marks a clear acceleration from March 2026, when prices edged up by just 0.1% on a monthly basis.

The April reading, updated on 14 May 2026, shows that price growth has picked up after a relatively subdued March. On a month‑over‑month basis, the latest figure reflects a stronger increase in consumer prices compared to the previous period, when inflation had barely moved. This shift suggests that short-term inflationary pressures in Slovakia have intensified as the second quarter of 2026 begins.
