Euro Area Inflation Rate

The consumer price inflation rate in the Euro Area came in at 1.2 percent year-on-year in April 2018, unchanged from the preliminary estimate and slightly below 1.3 percent reported in the previous month. The slowdown was led by a fall in services inflation.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.3 percent, easing from a 1 percent jump in March and matching market consensus. Inflation Rate in the Euro Area averaged 1.97 percent from 1991 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 5 percent in July of 1991 and a record low of -0.70 percent in July of 2009.
