April 10, <\/strong>Pozirk<\/strong>.<\/em> Belarus saw a 0.6-percent rise in consumer prices in March, with a 5.4-percent increase year on year, the National Statistical Committee (Bie\u0142stat) reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, food prices climbed by 0.3 percent, while non-food prices and services increased by 0.5 and 1.2 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumer prices have been up 1.6 percent since the start of 2026, driven mainly by a 2.6-percent rise in services prices. Food prices climbed by 1.7 percent, while non-food prices rose by 0.8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, the government was expecting inflation to slow down to 5 percent, yet it stood at 6.8 percent following 5.2 percent reported in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, inflation is not expected to exceed 7 percent, according to the key economic targets for 2026 that Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka approved last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
