Slovakia’s core consumer price index (CPI) moved back into positive territory in April 2026, rising 0.5% month‑over‑month after a slight decline in the previous month. The latest data, updated on 14 May 2026, mark a notable turnaround from March 2026, when core CPI slipped by 0.1% on a monthly basis.

The core CPI measure, which tracks underlying price pressures by excluding some volatile components, is reported on a month‑over‑month basis. The “actual” figure for April reflects the change from March to April, while the “previous” figure captures the change from February to March. The shift from a 0.1% decline to a 0.5% increase suggests a renewed pick‑up in underlying inflationary momentum in Slovakia as the second quarter of 2026 begins.
