Inflation in Belgium reaches the highest level in 40 years at almost 9%

The high inflation in May, as in recent months, is largely due to high energy prices. Energy inflation currently stands at 56.80% and contributes 4.80 percentage points to total inflation.

In addition, food inflation has also risen sharply in recent months. Inflation for food is 6.32% this month compared to 5.09% last month. The contribution of food to inflation is currently 1.26 percentage points.
