Fashion pulse: Latvia — March 2026

Consumer prices

Latvian headline CPI ran at +3.4 percent year-on-year in March 2026 per CSP, with the fashion basket running closely behind: clothing and footwear inflation at +2.1 percent year-on-year in March. Monthly, prices rose +1.9 percent in March, reflecting broad seasonal pressures across food, transport, and housing categories. Latvia's headline-to-fashion gap of 1.3 percentage points (3.4 vs 2.1) is the narrowest in the Baltic cluster — distinct from Estonia's deep-deflation pattern and Lithuania's mid-range divergence.
