Delving into the December data, the Euroraum witnessed a surge in consumer prices, while core inflation took a step back. Eurostat's secondary release confirmed an annual inflation rate of 2.9%, aligning with economists' expectations from January 5.
It seems to be a bit ''sticky'''....

I don't know how inflation is calculated at European level, but I do know that in some countries the calculation is biased: it's based on a small basket that doesn't reflect the life of average households.

I love when they use terms like sticky or stubborn to describe inflation, as if prices are acting unexpectedly and not as a result of irresponsible debasement.
