Introduction
This analysis draws on data published by Eurostat and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). All values are updated in real-time, typically on the 18th–20th of each month when data providers publish final figures. We will examine:
- Annual inflation (how prices have changed compared to the same month in the previous year)
- Monthly inflation (price changes compared to the previous month)
- Price level changes relative to 2015 (which provides a better understanding of changes over time)
As inflation represents a long-term structural trend, the annual rate provides the most meaningful indicator of price dynamics.
