Key drivers
- July health-index level rose to 103.24 on the 2025=100 base
- August 2025 denominator is 100.05, so July level persistence implies about 3.19% YoY
- FPB July forecast benchmark put August health-index growth at 3.21%
- Health index excludes most motor fuels, muting direct fuel-price swings
- Energy and core aggregate levels remained elevated in July

- rule
- Resolve to the first Statbel-published annual inflation rate based on the Belgian health index for m-2026-08, reported in percent and rounded to the agency's published precision. Use the first print in the Statbel Consumer Price Index - Health Index release at the registered Statbel source URL; ignore later revisions or mirrors. The registered Thesis target sets the resolution bound at 2026-09-03; Statbel's publication timing page says CPI results are available on the penultimate working day of the reference period, which points to 2026-08-28 for August 2026, inside the registered window.
