Partner Center Announcements · 11 Nov 2026

🛒 Microsoft’s annual local-currency pricing review takes effect January 1, 2027, for five currencies. Published cloud adjustments are AUD −4%, CNY up to −8.5%, INR +15.7%, NOK −5.9% and NZD +10%.

On-premises changes are listed for INR, up to +20%, and NZD, +10%.

Individual SKU changes may vary through calculation and rounding. CNY covers global cloud services and Microsoft Cloud operated by 21Vianet, excluding Azure operated by 21Vianet.

BRL remains subject to a later review after tax reform; JPY retains its April cadence, with April 2027 details due in February.

Next step
