Prices in the euro area increased
According to the final data released by the European Union’s statistical office (Eurostat) on Wednesday, consumer prices in the eurozone, which comprises 19 EU countries, rose by 4.1 percent year-on-year.
Such high inflation was last recorded in April 1992 at a higher rate of 4.2 percent in the euro area.
