Finland's consumer price inflation accelerated in March to the highest level in nearly two years amid higher energy costs, data from Statistics Finland showed on Monday.
The consumer price index rose 1.3 percent year-over-year in March, faster than the 0.6 percent increase in February. Further, a similar inflation rate was last seen in June 2024.
The upward trend in inflation was largely driven by higher costs for electricity, diesel, and petrol caused by the impact of the Middle East war.
