Inflation rose slightly to 1.7% in December
Inflation rose by a marginal amount to 1.7% in December, the national statistics office CBS said on Thursday.
The rise in the retail price index was driven by more expensive petrol and lower discounts in the end-of-year high street sales, the CBS said.
Measured in European terms, the Dutch inflation rate is 1.4% well above the 0.8% average in the eurozone.
