EUROZONE DATA
(MNI) LONDON

Eurozone factory gate inflation skyrocketed by 5.4% between October and November, bringing the annual rate of increase to a record-smashing 21.9%, according to data released by Eurostat on Thursday.

  • Shortages in European gas supplies, accounted for much of the increase, rising by 16.8% between October and November, taking the annual rise to 62.5%.
  • Excluding energy, PPI rose by 0.8% over the month and by still-historically-high 8.9% over October of 2020.
  • The producer price data suggest the consumer price inflation could continue to accelerate from the euro-era-high of 4.9% in November.
  • EZ PPI now far exceeds the elevated rate in the UK, where output prices rose by 8.0% over October of 2021, while input prices jumped by 13.0%.
