Inflation figures from the eurozone's major economies paint a mixed picture of the bloc's price prospects. In Germany, the region's biggest economy, the inflation rate unexpectedly rose to the highest level in nine months.
Mainly driven by food prices, as energy prices fell modestly, EU-harmonised inflation in Germany was 2.6% higher in November compared with the previous year, after inflation hit 2.3% in October of 2025. This is according to preliminary results from the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis).
