根据初步估计,2024年10月,欧元区的年通货膨胀率从9月的1.7%加速至2%,这是自2021年4月以来的最低水平,略高于1.9%的预测。今年年底的增长在很大程度上是由于基数效应,因为去年能源价格的大幅下跌不再计入年利率。通货膨胀已经达到了欧洲央行的目标。10月份,能源成本下降速度较慢(-4.6%对-6.1%),食品、酒精和烟草(2.9%对2.4%)以及非能源工业品(0.5%对0.4%)的价格上涨更快。另一方面,服务业通胀稳定在3.9%。与此同时,不包括能源、食品、酒精和烟草价格的年度核心通胀率保持不变,为2.7%,为2022年2月以来的最低水平,但高于2.6%的预测。与上月相比,CPI在9月份下降0.1%后上涨了0.3%。
Annual inflation in the Euro Area accelerated to 2% in October 2024, up from 1.7% in September which was the lowest level since April 2021, and slightly above forecasts of 1.9%, according to preliminary estimates. This year-end increase was largely expected due to base effects, as last year’s sharp declines in energy prices are no longer factored into annual rates. Inflation has now reached the European Central Bank’s target. In October, energy cost fell at a slower pace (-4.6% vs -6.1%) and prices rose faster for food, alcohol and tobacco (2.9% vs 2.4%) and non-energy industrial goods (0.5% vs 0.4%). On the other hand, services inflation steadied at 3.9%. Meanwhile, annual core inflation rate which excludes prices for energy, food, alcohol and tobacco was unchanged at 2.7%, the lowest since February 2022 but above forecasts of 2.6%. Compared to the previous month, the CPI rose 0.3%, following a 0.1% fall in September.
