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.

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. source: State Statistical Committee of the Republic of Azerbaijan
