Inflation slowed compared to January and reached the lowest level since May 2022.

In the euro area in February, consumer prices rose by 8.5% in annual terms. This is confirmed by the latest data of the EU Statistical Office, Interfax reports.

It is known that inflation slowed compared to the January figure of 8.6%, and became the lowest since May 2022.

However, eurozone consumer price growth remains above the European Central Bank’s (ECB) target of 2%.

As reported, the final data for February was in line with the preliminary estimate and with the expectations of analysts polled by Trading Economics.

Last month, consumer prices excluding food and energy (CPI Core index) rose a record 5.6% in annual terms after rising 5.3% in January.

The dynamics of the CPI Core index coincides with preliminary data and market expectations.

As for the growth of energy prices in the eurozone, in February it slowed to 13.7% in annual terms from 18.9% in the previous month. The growth of prices for food products, alcohol and tobacco accelerated to 15% from 14.1%.

The cost of services increased by 4.8% (4.4% in January), manufactured goods – by 6.8% (6.7% in January).

It noted that consumer prices in the euro area in February rose by 0.8% compared to January, when the figure fell by 0.2%.

Recall that inflation in the eurozone in January slowed above forecasts.

It was previously reported that the eurozone showed growth in the fourth quarter of 2022, managing to avoid recession, despite high energy prices, lower confidence and rising interest rates.
