Compared to inflation in Greece, the Eurozone saw 2.3% in November 2024, up from 2.0% in October, based on Eurostat’s preliminary estimates.
Services are expected to have the highest annual inflation rate at 3.9%, marginally down from 4.0% in October, followed by food, alcohol, and tobacco at 2.8% (down from 2.9%).
Non-energy industrial goods were at 0.7% (up from 0.5%), and energy at -1.9% (a less severe decline compared to -4.6% in October).

Meanwhile, expectations suggest a reduction of more than 1.5 percentage points in the European Central Bank cuts by the end of 2025. The deposit rate, currently at 3.25%, is projected to drop to 2% by June 2025 and may fall below that level by the year’s end. Economists surveyed by Consensus Economics forecast an average ECB deposit rate of 2.15% by December 2025.
Markets are increasingly pricing in substantial interest rate cuts from the European Central Bank (ECB).
