Historic harmonised inflation Europe – HICP inflation

Historic harmonised inflation Europe - This page features an overview of the historic harmonised European inflation: HICP European. The harmonised inflation rate is based upon the harmonised consumer price index (HICP, published by Eurostat to compare inflation in European countries). Two overviews are being presented:

the annual harmonised inflation by year for Europe - comparing the december HICP to the december HICP of the year before and
the average harmonised inflation by year for Europe - the average of 12 monthly harmonised inflation rates of a calendar year

In case you click on HICP Europe plus year in the inflation table, you will be directed to a page showing the historic inflation rates of that specific year in Europe. Using the tabs you can switch between the historic HICP inflation overview and the historic CPI inflation overview. When you are interested in the current HICP inflation in Europe, click here.
