Belgium Producer Inflation Slows

2026-07-31 09:35 By Larissa Caser 1 min. read

Belgium's producer price inflation eased to 9.1% year-on-year in June 2026 from 9.7% in the previous month, as domestic price pressures softened (8.3% vs 9.1%), partly offset by faster inflation in foreign markets (11.0% vs 8.2%).

By sector, producer inflation slowed for manufacturing (9.0% vs 10.3%) but accelerated for mining and quarrying (2.3% vs 1.9%) and electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (11.5% vs 4.3%), while remaining unchanged for water supply, sewage, waste management and remediation activities (4.2%).

Energy inflation eased sharply to 16.6% from 24.4%.

Meanwhile, producer prices fell at a slower pace for consumer goods (-1.3% vs -2.2%), reflecting softer deflation for non-durable goods (-1.6% vs -2.4%), while inflation accelerated for intermediate goods (17.2% vs 15.7%) and durable consumer goods (4.7% vs 4.1%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices declined 1.1% in June, following a 0.8% increase in May.
