Food prices push Cyprus inflation higher in January, data shows

Cyprus’ annual inflation edged up to 0.5 per cent in January 2026, reversing the negative rate recorded in the previous two months, as agricultural prices climbed sharply, according to the consumer protection service’s latest price observatory.

The observatory presents weighted average prices for 250 basic consumer products sold daily in 400 retail outlets nationwide throughout January, offering consumers a comparative snapshot of purchase prices across supermarkets, bakeries and kiosks.
