In Euro Area, the inflation rate is calculated using the weighted average of the Harmonised Index of Consumer Price (HICP) aggregates. The main components of the HICP are: food, alcohol and tobacco (19 percent of the total weight), energy (11 percent), non-energy industrial goods (29 percent) and services (41 percent). The HICP aggregates are computed as the weighted average of each country’s HICP components. The weight of a country is its share of household final monetary consumption expenditure in the total of the country’s group. The local HICPs are supplied to the Eurostat by the National Statistical Institutes.

Latest Updates

Eurozone consumer price inflation rose slightly to 2.0% year-on-year in June 2025, up from May’s eight-month low of 1.9% and in line with market expectations, according to a preliminary estimate. The figure aligns with the European Central Bank’s official target. Among major economies, inflation in Germany unexpectedly declined, while France and Spain saw modest increases and Italy’s rate held steady. Services inflation accelerated to 3.3%, up from May’s three-year low of 3.2%, while the decline in energy prices softened to 2.7% from 3.6%. In contrast, inflation eased for non-energy industrial goods (0.5% vs. 0.6%) and for food, alcohol, and tobacco (3.1% vs. 3.2%). Core inflation—which excludes energy and food—was unchanged at 2.3%, marking its lowest level since January 2022.
