What this value means
Newer month than the live July 2026 print (2.49). Officially stated annual (punto a punto) rate from Boletín No. 46, linked from https://onec.bcr.gob.sv/boletin-ipc-agosto-2026/ (publicado el 14-09-2026). The BCR database page https://estadisticas.bcr.gob.sv/serie/indice-de-precios-al-consumidor-ipc reads «Datos actualizados hasta: Agosto 2026» and the Índice general row ends 134.55 (July 2026, matching the live index) then 134.99 (August 2026); August 2025 in that row is 130.81. September 2026 was not published at check time: https://onec.bcr.gob.sv/boletin-ipc-septiembre-2026/ returned HTTP 404, and the database header stops at August 2026. The advance calendar lists 7 October 2026 for the September IPC; local time in El Salvador was about 01:15 on 7 October when checked.
