Switzerland’s combined producer and import price index in September 2026 rose by 0.3 percent compared with August – according to a statement from the Federal Statistical Office (BFS) .

The Office’s statement

The September value of the combined producer and import price index was 100.7 points . The index is based on December 2025: a value of 100 represents the price level at that time. The figure is a nationwide aggregate, not an indicator broken down by canton. Source: BFS

Key price changes

Compared with the previous year, the index moved in the opposite direction to the monthly increase: the overall price level was 0.2 percent lower than in September 2025. The September increase therefore did not result in an annual rise in prices; the monthly and annual figures refer to different comparison periods. Source: BFS
