Eurozone inflation exceeded expectations in December, rising by 0.4% over November to hit a new euro-era annual high of 5.0%, according to data released by Eurostat on Friday. Analysts had expected a modest deceleration in HICP last month from the 4.9% pace recorded in November.
Energy prices remain the biggest contributor to accelerating inflation, rising by an annual rate of 26.0% in December, a slight reduction from the 27.5% surge recorded in November. Excluding food, alcohol and tobacco, core inflation also rose by 0.4% between November and December, leaving the annual rate at 2.6%, matching the November result.
