31 July 2026, 15:30  Belgium: Producer Inflation Slows.

Belgium's producer price inflation eased to 9.1% year-on-year in July 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 July, following a 0.8% increase in June.
