On the 13th local time, a report released by the Dutch central bank predicted that it would be impossible for the country to control the surge in prices by 2025. Although it was previously expected that the inflation rate would drop to 2.8% next year, the Dutch central bank predicted that the price increase would remain high at 3.2%. In its latest economic forecast, the Dutch central bank warned that if no measures are taken, the currently high price increases in the Netherlands could even become a structural phenomenon. This inflation forecast is completely different from the previous optimistic tone. The Dutch central bank has been counting on the extreme price increases in stores and supermarkets to end swiftly. In recent months, inflation in the Netherlands has been higher than in many other eurozone countries. Initially, this was attributed to high rents and Tobacco taxes. However, Energy and fuel prices are now also rising, and there are no signs that food prices are leveling off. (CCTV News)
