Denmark’s consumer price index rose 2.2% in September 2026 from a year earlier, up from 2.0% annual inflation in August. Statistics Denmark said fuel prices made the largest positive contribution to annual inflation, followed by rents.

Core inflation, which excludes energy and unprocessed food, eased to 1.9% year on year from 2.2% in August. Food and non-alcoholic beverage prices fell 2.1% annually and 0.7% from August, while the release put the harmonised HICP rate at 2.1%. HICP has a different coverage from the national index; EU comparisons for September had not yet been published.
