Methodological information:

Fuels for transport prices are recorded centrally four times per month, between the 1st and the 25th dates. The prices are collected both face-to-face and registered at www.leta.lv. The sample includes the largest retailers based on retail turnover. Based on turnover, internal weights are constructed so that each retailer influences price changes proportionally. Depending on the type of fuel, the number of price observations for each retailer may vary, but the weight remains unchanged over the year.

The respective table will be updated in the OSP data base on 11.08.2026. More information on consumer price changes is available in the official statistics portal section Consumer prices.
