Düsseldorf The price level in the USA continues to rise rapidly. In February, consumer prices (CPI) rose by 7.9 percent compared to the same month last year – the strongest increase since 1982, the US Department of Labor announced on Thursday.

In January it was still 7.5 percent. The core inflation rate, which excludes the volatile developments in energy and food, rose by 6.4 percent.
