The flash estimate of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) year-over-year is an indicator that shows how much the prices of goods and services purchased by consumers in the Eurozone have increased or decreased in a specific month compared to the same month the previous year. This data is published monthly by Eurostat and represents preliminary figures.
Year-over-year data helps in understanding how consumer prices have fluctuated over a long period. If the HICP increases, it indicates rising inflationary pressures, which could decrease consumer purchasing power. Conversely, if the HICP decreases, there is a risk of deflation, potentially increasing consumer purchasing power.
This data serves as a reference for policymakers to assess inflation trends and develop appropriate monetary policies. It also provides crucial information for businesses and investors for gauging price trends and economic forecasts.
