Italy’s inflation rate rose to 2.8% year-on-year in April 2026, up from 1.7% in March, driven by a sharp rebound in energy prices, according to Istat.
On a monthly basis, prices increased by 1.2%, with non-regulated energy and transport costs leading the rise. Goods inflation strengthened to 3.2%, while services inflation eased to 2.4%.
The harmonised index (HICP) climbed 2.9% YoY, reflecting higher energy costs and seasonal price adjustments, including clothing and footwear.
