December 2024 inflation: How did prices and pensions develop?
Inflation accelerated again in the last month of 2024, reflected in the average consumer price and purchase quantities of many products. The 4.6% consumer price index in December and the 5.4% increase in food prices were the highest values of 2024. These figures highlight the significant impact of the monetary deterioration on living standards, especially for pensioners.

Middle-income households: 3.6% → 4.5%
Households with three or more children: 3.8% → 4.7%
