April 3, 2023:, 2023: In March, Inflation in the eurozone declined significantly as energy prices continued to decrease, while core expenses increased to an all-time high.
Headline inflation in the bloc came in at nearly 6.9% in March, the preliminary Eurostat figures released on Friday. By comparison, headline inflation has increased by 8.5%.
The main cause for this 1.6 percentage point decrease was the drop in energy costs.

He stated that the ECB would likely keep increasing prices despite the decline in the headline figure.
