The Croatian Bureau of Statistics has published the latest Consumer Price Index for June 2026. According to official data published in the Official Gazette (NN 78/2026), prices fell by 0.4% in June compared to May.
What the numbers say
The Consumer Price Index for June 2026 compared to May 2026 stands at 99.6. This means that prices fell by an average of 0.4 percent month-on-month.
Although this is a relatively mild decline, it is a positive signal for citizens after the period of elevated inflation that marked previous years. The decrease in the consumer price index is reflected in everyday life – from food products and fuel to services.
What this means for your wallet
The drop in the consumer price index (deflation of 0.4%) means that purchasing power slightly increased in June compared to May – you could buy slightly more for the same money in June than a month earlier.
However, to assess the long-term trend, we need to wait for the annual data (June 2026 vs June 2025), which will show the actual annual inflation rate.
The Croatian Bureau of Statistics regularly publishes the consumer price index each month, which is one of the key indicators of inflation and is used for adjusting pensions, wages and other economic parameters.
