Finland Consumer Price Inflation Rises to 3.1 Percent

Statistics Finland reported that consumer price inflation rose to 3.1 percent in October 2026, an increase from the 2.5 percent recorded in September. The agency identified mortgage interest rates and fuel prices, specifically Gasoline 95 E 10 and diesel EN 590, as the primary drivers of the acceleration.

These price hikes were partially offset by decreases in document fees, non-reimbursable prescription drugs, and condominium prices. Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, remained lower at 1.8 percent.

Finland's Harmonized Consumer Price Index rose 3.2 percent annually. This figure remains below the broader eurozone inflation rate, which preliminary Eurostat data placed at 4.0 percent for the same period.
