Euro zone inflation falls to lowest in 2 years as economy slows
- In September, inflation in the euro zone reached its lowest level in two years, indicating that the European Central Bank's interest rate hikes were successful in curbing rising prices. However, this came at the cost of economic growth.
- Consumer prices in the euro zone rose by 4.3% in September, the slowest pace since October 2021, from 5.2% in the previous month. This decline in inflation was even more pronounced when excluding food, energy, alcohol, and tobacco, with a drop from 5.3% to 4.5%.
- These figures lend support to the ECB's belief that their interest rate adjustments have effectively brought inflation closer to their target of 2% by 2025. The bank's projections expect inflation to decrease to 3.2% in 2024 and 2.1% in 2025.
