(MENAFN) Yearly consumer prices in the euro area increased 2.3 percent in the previous month, EU statistics agency Eurostat released Friday.
That is a surge from 2 percent in October, and also beyond the 2 percent goal aimed by the European Central bank (ECB).
Nonetheless, the news is improbable to halt the ECB from cutting interest volumes as it centers on resolving Europe's slow development.
Energy prices decreased 1.9 percent from a year ago, but that was offset by price surges of 3.9 percent in the services field.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile energy, food, alcohol as well as tobacco prices, was steady at 2.7 percent for a third sequential month in the previous month.
Inflation has declined hugely from 10.6 percent in October 2022 when the ECB elevated interest volumes quickly to lower price surges. In June, the bank started reducing volumes as worries regarding economic development improved stronger.
