Consumer prices increased by 0.3% in April
Neuchâtel, 05.05.2026 — The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.3% in April 2026 compared with the previous month, reaching 101.1 points (December 2025 = 100). Inflation was +0.6% compared with the same month of the previous year. These are the results of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
The 0.3% increase compared with the previous month is due to several factors including rising prices for petrol, diesel and heating oil.

In contrast, prices for hotels and supplementary accommodation decreased, as did those for car rental and car sharing.
