The annual inflation rate in the Dominican Republic rose to 5.35% in May 2026, up from 5.11% in April, reaching its highest level since March 2023. The acceleration was driven mainly by a sharp increase in transport costs, which climbed 7.5% compared with 5.3% in the previous month, alongside additional upward pressure from recreation and culture (2.7% vs. 2.4%).

By contrast, price increases in several other categories moderated. Food inflation eased to 6.6% from 7.0%, while price growth slowed for health (5.0% vs. 5.2%) and education (6.6% vs. 7.2%). Inflation remained unchanged for housing and utilities (2.6%), restaurants and hotels (7.7%), alcoholic beverages and tobacco (5.3%), and furnishings (1.9%).

On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 0.31% in May, down from a 0.49% rise in April.
