According to data from the Central Statistical Bureau (CSP), fuel prices in Latvia moved lower in July 2026. The average consumer price level for fuel fell by 3.5 percent compared with the previous month, June 2026.

The CSP’s monthly price observation covers changes across the fuel segment. The reported figure represents an average movement rather than a uniform change across all fuel products or filling stations. Different types of fuel and different locations could have seen somewhat different price dynamics, but the overall average points to a clear decline.

The decrease means that, on average, motorists in Latvia paid less for fuel in July than they did in June. The data, published by the national statistical office, are based on the agency’s regular monitoring of consumer prices. The 3.5 percent drop is recorded as a month-on-month change.

The Central Statistical Bureau is the official institution responsible for producing and publishing statistical data in Latvia. Its price statistics are used for tracking changes in the cost of goods and services. In this release, the focus is on fuel, and the figures indicate a notable reduction in the average price level during July. The average price level is calculated on the basis of the observed price changes. This means that the reported decrease reflects the general direction of fuel prices rather than the price at any single station. The CSP’s data provide an official measure of how the cost of fuel changed for consumers across the country.
