Eurostat on Wednesday announced that the inflation rate in Greece last month, January 2023, stood at 7.2 percent, down from 7.6 in the previous month, December 2022.
The Greek statistics authority (EL.STAT) calculated the inflation rate in Greece at 7.2 percent in December 2022
The inflation rate in the Eurozone was calculated at 8.5 percent, according to preliminary estimates.
The level is still judged as high by analysts, with “structural inflation” also proving resilient.
Energy prices, for instance, rose by 17.2 percent in the Eurozone, followed by foodstuffs and alcohol at 14.1 percent, two of the most critical consumer goods.
The figure for the Eurozone in December 2022 was 9.2 percent; 10.1 percent in November 2022.
