Short answer

Inflation in Denmark was 2.2% in October 2026, measured as the rise in consumer prices from October 2025. The rate was unchanged from September 2026. Transport, above all fuel, added most to inflation, while food pulled it down. Core inflation, which leaves out energy and unprocessed food, fell to 1.7% from 1.9% in September, mainly driven by rent increases.
