In a newly released economic report dated September 10, 2024, Greece’s Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for August registered a modest increase. The HICP, a crucial indicator used to measure inflation and steer monetary policy, stood at 3.2% for the month, marking an uptick from the 3.0% recorded in July 2024.This data highlights a year-over-year comparison, reflecting that inflationary pressures remain a persistent concern for the Greek economy. In essence, the 3.2% increase in August 2024 over the same month in the previous year is a step ahead from the 3.0% year-over-year rise observed in July.With inflation creeping up despite previous months showing signs of relative stability, analysts and policy-makers may need to re-evaluate strategies to shield the economy from further inflationary escalation. This slight surge could prompt renewed discussions on monetary interventions or fiscal policies aimed at curbing inflation while fostering economic growth.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com
