The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices for the European Economic Area rose 0.6% in September 2026 from the previous month. In a short release published on 20 October, Statistics Iceland said the index was 3.8% higher than a year earlier. The harmonised measure is designed to support price comparisons across countries and European aggregates.
The release gives these two changes for the EEA aggregate and does not break them down by country or spending group. The 3.8% figure should therefore not be read as Iceland’s national inflation rate. The 0.6% monthly movement compares the EEA consumer basket in August and September, while the annual rate compares index levels in September 2025 and September 2026.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
