Eurostat: EU inflation rises to 2.1%, falls in Czech Republic

Inflation in the European Union rose to 2.1% year-on-year in February, up from 2.0% in January, according to Eurostat. In contrast, the Czech Republic saw a slight decrease, with inflation dropping from 1.2% in January to 1.0% in February.

Eurostat uses harmonised data to ensure comparability across EU countries, which may differ from calculations by the Czech Statistical Office. Despite the recent divergence, inflation levels were higher a year ago, when both the EU and the Czech Republic recorded a rate of 2.7%.

The data highlights differing inflation trends within the EU, with the Czech Republic currently experiencing slower price growth compared to the overall European average.
