FX.co ★ Belgium’s Monthly Inflation Picks Up in February as CPI MoM Rises to 0.54%

Belgium’s consumer price momentum strengthened in February 2026, with the country’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.54% month-over-month, up from a 0.44% increase in January 2026. The latest figures, updated on 26 February 2026, point to a modest acceleration in price growth at the start of the year.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” reading for February reflects a faster pace of price increases compared with the previous month, when the CPI had already recorded a 0.44% gain versus December. The comparison framework shows that while inflation pressures remain contained, they are edging higher, suggesting that price dynamics in Belgium are becoming slightly more pronounced as 2026 progresses.
