Slovakia’s consumer price momentum turned positive in July 2026, with the country’s month‑over‑month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.1%, according to data updated on 13 August 2026. This follows a slight 0.1% decline in June 2026, when the indicator stood at -0.1% on a monthly basis.

The July reading marks a reversal from June’s modest deflation, signaling that price pressures have returned, albeit at a very mild pace. In the month‑over‑month comparison framework, the “actual” July figure of 0.1% reflects the change relative to June, while the “previous” figure of -0.1% captured June’s movement compared with May.

While the scale of the move is small, the shift from negative to positive territory will be closely watched by investors and policymakers looking for signs of either persistent disinflation or a stabilization of price dynamics in Slovakia’s economy.
