Consumer prices rose by 0.2% in May
The national consumer price index (CPI) rose by 0.2% in May 2026 compared to the previous month, reaching 101.3 points (December 2025 = 100). Compared to the same month last year, inflation was +0.6%. These are the figures from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO). The Swiss consumer price index is published monthly by the Office of Statistics for Liechtenstein.
The increase of 0.2% compared to the previous month is due to various factors, including higher residential rents and higher prices in the hotel industry. Prices for fruit and vegetables, petrol, car rental and car sharing also rose. By contrast, prices for air travel and heating oil have fallen, as have prices in the para-hotel sector.
