Consumer prices increased by 0.2% in March
Neuchâtel, 02.04.2026 — The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.2% in March 2026 compared with the previous month, reaching 100.8 points (December 2025 = 100). Inflation was +0.3% compared with the same month of the previous year. These are the results of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
The 0.2% increase compared with the previous month is due to several factors including rising prices for heating oil and international package holidays. Prices for air transport also recorded a price increase, as did those for petrol and diesel. In contrast, prices for hotels and supplementary accommodation decreased, as did those for car rental and car sharing.
