Luxembourg's consumer price index for October 2026 stands at 1064.42 against base 100 on 1 January 1948Public, and the six-month average of the linked (raccordé) index stands at 1059.80. The Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (STATEC) published both figures on 4 November 2026.
The monthly index is drawn up by STATEC under the règlement grand-ducal du 20 décembre 1999. It comprises a harmonised index (IPCH) and a national index (IPCN) built on the same methodological principles, except that the national index covers only the consumption of the resident population on the national economic territory and excludes consumption by non-residents. The reference basket and its weightings are revised every year to reflect changes in consumption habits.
The weightings are derived from the national accounts, with no more than three calendar years between the weighting reference year and the year for which the index is compiled, and they are adjusted for price movements between the weighting reference year and the base month of each annual index chain. Each year's revision of the basket and weightings is set by règlement grand-ducal after consultation of the Conseil économique et social and the advisory commission.
