Inflation was not surprising in December but is rising
Inflation rose to 6.6% yoy in December, in line with market expectations. Compared to the Czech National Bank's forecast, it was still one percentage point higher. The transition between energy suppliers led to a slight month-on-month decrease in electricity prices. Gas prices have risen. Food prices rose slightly, while fuel prices became cheaper. Without the VAT waiver, annual inflation would be close to 8%. It will head to 9% yoy at the beginning of this year. In February, we expect the CNB repo rate to increase to 4.50%.
