The annual inflation rate in Denmark rose to 1.2% in March 2026 from a twenty-two-month low of 0.7% in the previous month.

Prices accelerated mainly in the transport group, rising 2.2% after a 0.8% drop in February, driven by sharply higher fuel costs, particularly diesel (18.3% vs -5.2%) and petrol (9% vs -5.6%).

Costs also increased for information and communication (4.5% vs 3.1%) and restaurants and accommodation services (1.4% vs 1.3%), while inflation remained steady in education (4.5%) and financial services and insurance (2.6%).

Meanwhile, price growth eased for food and non-alcoholic beverages (1.8% vs 2.6%) and recreation, sport and culture (2.2% vs 3.3%), while housing and utilities continued to decline (-0.3% vs -0.9%).

On a monthly basis, consumer prices stalled in March, following a 1% gain in the prior period.

Core inflation, which excludes energy and unprocessed food, slowed slightly to 1.7%, the lowest since May 2025, from 1.8% in February.
