In June 2026, energy inflation in Latin America and the Caribbean rose to 8.03%, marking the highest level of the year, according to the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (Olacde).

This increase was primarily driven by rising fuel prices, which have significantly impacted the region.

Additionally, external factors such as the conflict in the Middle East were also cited as contributors to the rising fuel inflation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
