🇱🇹Lithuania inflation rate

Lithuania adopted the euro in 2015. Harmonised inflation (HICP) — the EU-wide measure the European Central Bank targets at 2% — stands at 5.1% as of May 2026. That is 3.1 percentage points above the ECB's 2% target, and 1.9 points above the euro-area average of 3.2%.

The breakdown shows core (excluding energy and food) at 3.4%, energy at 22.2%, food at 2.2% and services at 6.3%. The strongest pressure is in energy (22.2%), while food is the softest (2.2%).

Month on month the headline rose from 4.9% to 5.1%, extending the climb.

As a more recent euro adopter still converging toward western-European income levels, Lithuania has tended to run inflation above the euro-area average — a structural pattern (faster catch-up growth lifting wages and services prices) seen across the bloc's central, eastern and Baltic members rather than a quirk of one month.
