Year-on-year inflation in the eurozone rose to 3.3 percent in August according to Eurostat's flash estimate. In July it stood at 2.9 percent, so consumer price growth accelerated by 0.4 percentage points and reached its highest level in approximately three years. hnonline.sk ↗
The main reason was more expensive energy. According to the published information, prices were also affected by an oil shock related to the war in Iran, which increased pressure on household bills and the overall price level. Total inflation thus moved significantly higher again above the level that the European Central Bank monitors when making monetary policy decisions. teraz.sk ↗
Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, meanwhile fell to 2.4 percent. This figure suggests that the acceleration in overall price growth was mainly related to energy, not a general strengthening of price pressures across all categories.
The new data comes ahead of the European Central Bank's next decision on interest rates. Market observers, according to available information, expect that monetary policymakers will raise rates. The development of inflation in the coming months will therefore be important for determining whether this is temporary energy pressure or a more persistent problem for the eurozone.
