Harmonized inflation rose to 8.9% in February (January: 8.4%) due to higher price pressures for food, clothing, housing, plus restaurants and hotels. This year, inflation will more than halve from 2022 due to a strong base effect, capped energy prices and declining commodity prices. A key factor to watch is the planned permanent shutdown of the Groningen gas field in October.
