In the Netherlands, inflation symptomatic of national contradictions

For many months, the Netherlands has systematically displayed a deviation from the average inflation in the euro zone. Admittedly, this gap narrowed in November according to provisional estimates from the National Institute of Statistics (CBS) and Eurostat. The Dutch harmonized consumer price index (HICP) thus rose from +16.8% to +11.2% between October and November once morest +10.1% and +10% respectively for the euro zone.
