EUROPEAN INFLATION: Netherlands HICP Misses With Softest Core Since Oct-21

Sep-02 08:04

Dutch flash HICP inflation fell below expectations in preliminary August data, to 2.42% (cons 2.5%) after 2.50% in July, for the lowest rate since December 2023. The miss was mirrored by the 0.29% M/M vs cons of 0.4. National CPI inflation meanwhile was as expected at 2.8% Y/Y, also easing a tenth. 

  • Core HICP was behind the deceleration with its second consecutive downtick, at 2.16% Y/Y (2.23% July), the lowest rate since October 2021.
  • Services fell more substantially in August, to 2.87% Y/Y (3.11% July). The category saw some volatility in Q2 but appears to consolidate clearly below 2024 levels (see chart).
  • Non-energy industrial goods (core goods) meanwhile rose its second consecutive time, to 1.42% Y/Y (1.25% July).
  • Looking at the non-core items, FAT (food/alcohol/tobacco) came in at 3.71% (4.07% July). Contrary to the wider Eurozone, the category has seen a clear downtrend this year (it was above 7% until May). Energy inflation accelerated meanwhile to 1.57% (0.90% July). This is a similar dynamic to what will be expected for the EZ-wide print out later today, with base effects at play looking at the -0.39% M/M sequential print in the category.
  • The national CPI was as expected however, at 2.8% in August (2.8% cons, 2.9% July).
  • For reference, Netherlands represents around 6% of the overall 2025 Eurozone HICP basket.
