Iceland’s consumer price inflation continued to cool in April 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) easing to 5.2%, down from 5.4% in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 29 April 2026, confirm a gradual moderation in price pressures compared with the same period a year earlier.

The current indicator reflects the change in prices in April 2026 relative to April 2025, while the previous reading measured the change in March 2026 versus March 2025. The slight decline in the annual rate suggests that inflation, while still elevated, is moving in a more favorable direction for households, businesses, and policymakers.

Investors and analysts tracking Iceland’s macroeconomic backdrop are likely to view the continued deceleration as a tentative signal that inflationary pressures may be stabilizing, though the pace of easing remains modest on a year-over-year basis.
