Inflation RatesIn Eurozone (latest data)

Definition

Inflation is the continuous rise of prices throughout the economy of the nation. 

The pace at which inflation rises is determined by the change in price levels, which is an average of all the prices.

If prices of some goods rise and others fall, the price level might not change, consequently inflation happens only when most major prices rise.

Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money. 

Eurozone Inflation

• In March inflation dropped to 0.5 % for the whole Eurozone.

• This was the lowest since November 2009.

• Deflation (a decrease in the general price level of goods/services or inflation below 0%) is still a risk, even though some try to deny it.
