The annual inflation rate eased to 32.11% in June 2026 from 32.61% in the previous month, in line with market expectations.
This marked the lowest level since March, driven by slower price increases in housing (45.14% vs. 45.59% in May) and transportation (31.15% vs. 34.29%).
Cost increases also moderated across several categories, including furniture and household goods (22.32% vs. 22.36%), health (33.62% vs. 32.94%), education (46.10% vs. 50.06%), and information and communication (25.57% vs. 25.58%).
In contrast, inflation continued to rise for food and non-alcoholic beverages (35.45% vs. 34.86%), and restaurants and accommodation services (31.61% vs. 31.59%).
The softer inflation reading reinforces expectations that the central bank could resume its easing cycle after keeping monetary conditions tight since March.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices eased by 0.99% in June from a 1.71% increase in May and marking the smallest gain in six months.
