What this value means
Reference month June 2026, released 10 July 2026 by ČSÚ. Headline CPI +1.5% YoY (down from higher readings earlier in the cycle), and -0.3% MoM. Main downward drivers month-on-month: 'transport' (fuels and lubricants -8.1%) and 'food and non-alcoholic beverages' (eggs -19.7%, UHT semi-skimmed milk -11.4%, butter -9.4%). The 12-month average CPI (average of the last 12 months vs the prior 12 months) was +2.1% to June 2026. The 1.5% YoY sits just below the CNB's 2% inflation target — context for the CNB's June 2026 rate hike being a pre-emptive/insurance move rather than a response to an inflation overshoot. ČSÚ is the official producer (csu.gov.cz); a separate ČSÚ flash estimate for June 2026 preceded this full release. Next release: July 2026 CPI, expected around 10-11 August 2026. UPDATE (roll applied 2026-08-21): Reference month July 2026, released 11 August 2026. Acceleration driven by 'recreation, sport and culture' (package holidays +23.0% MoM) and fuels returning to growth (+3.5% MoM, ~+17% YoY), while food prices fell (butter CZK 117.54/kg, lowest since June 2010; UHT semi-skimmed milk lowest on record). 12-month average inflation rate 2.0% (down from 2.1% in June); preliminary Czech HICP +1.3% YoY — a distinct harmonised measure, not the one served. Next News Release per ČSÚ: flash estimate 4 September 2026, full inflation release (August 2026) 10 September 2026.
