Inflation rate in March at its lowest level in almost three years. Economists predict that consumer prices will only have risen by 2.2 percent compared to the same month last year.
That would be the lowest value since June 2021. In February, inflation had already fallen to 2.5 percent, mainly due to cheaper energy and hardly any rising food prices. In April, the VAT rate on gas and district heating was raised from the temporary seven percent back to the old level of 19 percent.
