The Greek Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) has shown a slight decline in December, settling at 2.9%, compared to 3.0% in November 2024, according to the latest data updated as of January 13, 2025. This marks the continuation of a gradual decrease in inflation rates, as monitored through the HICP.
This index, which measures the average change over time in the prices paid by consumers for a specific basket of goods and services, is crucial for understanding inflation trends within the Eurozone. The year-over-year comparison highlights that the current decrease in the HICP reflects a slight relief in inflationary pressures as compared to the same month in the previous year.
The downward movement of the HICP could signify stabilization in price volatility that Greek consumers have faced in recent times, potentially suggesting a positive trend for the economy. Economic analysts will be watching closely to ascertain whether this decline becomes a broader, sustainable trend or if fluctuations in consumer prices might differ as the new year progresses.
