The explosive rise in inflation was an important argument of populists against support for Ukraine, clean energy subsidies and environmental measures in agriculture. Can anyone with knowledge of the matter tell us whether inflation is now under control due to measures taken by the criticized governments?
Yes, Hungary on top again 🇹🇯🇹🇯🇹🇯🦅🦅🇹🇯🇹🇯🙏🙏🙏 take that romania 🤮
Can anyone explain how and why the Benelux countries manage to keep it so low? Is it due to the ease to imports/exports? For example, why is Belgian inflation (a country where domestic politics is a wreck) lower than Germany, or Sweden for example?
Edit: same with Denmark vs Sweden. How do Denmark keep it so low? For example, Hungary/Romania/Slovakia are in close geographic proximity and also in the same inflation level ballpark, yet NL is much lower than France, and Denmark is much lower than Germany
Not only did our Dutch bros contain inflation, they even got slight deflation 💀
Hm, did we not have higher inflation because we banned the imports of russian oil & gas, and what we bought instead was more expensive?

If so, dear [Hungary](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-putin-holds-talks-with-hungarys-orban-china-2023-10-17/) – what’s your excuse?
Nice going Bulgaria!
Because energy prices went down, groceries did not.
Why do Netherlands have deflation?
Moldova inflation rate aslo down, previous: 9.69%. Current: 8.63%.
Netherlands solid as always. We don’t even need government here.
Hey look, we’re second place!! Oh wait
Baltic state bros balancing things out after having the highest inflation in the union:
Why are we always worst in EU zone? Even with heavily state funded electricity prices for regular home owners..
