LEBANON — Lebanon’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 1.9 percent in February 2026 compared to January, reflecting continued inflationary pressure on households amid ongoing economic challenges.

According to the latest figures, the annual inflation rate reached 12.27 percent in February 2026, compared to the same month in 2025. The increase highlights a sustained rise in the cost of living, as prices for goods and services continue to climb across the country.

At the regional level, all governorates recorded monthly increases in consumer prices, though at varying rates.

The Bekaa region saw the highest rise at 2.90 percent, followed by Beirut at 2.42 percent. Nabatieh recorded a 2 percent increase, while North Lebanon posted a 1.78 percent rise.

Mount Lebanon experienced a 1.69 percent increase in February, while South Lebanon recorded the lowest monthly rise among governorates at 1.55 percent.
