Consumer prices in Azerbaijan rose by 0.2% month-over-month in August 2026, rebounding from a 0.1% fall in the previous month. The recovery was largely driven by higher costs of food products, which increased by 0.3% after declining 0.4% in July, particularly for meat and fish goods. Non-food prices also rose (0.1% vs 0%), as higher costs of wallpaper, bricks, plasterboard, electrical equipment, personal hygiene products and jewelry outweighed lower prices of summer clothing, detergents and cleaning products, personal computers and tablets. Meanwhile, inflation remained steady for services at 0.2%, driven by increased prices for leisure tours and international passenger air transport services. On an annual basis, consumer prices rose by 5.7% in August, following a 5.8% gain in the preceding period.
