As a result, the real value of a euro has been decreasing recently. Purchasing power decreased by 0.76% in 2024 compared to 2023. On average, you would have to spend 0.76% more money in 2024 than in 2023 for the same item.

This means that today's prices are 1.01 times as high as average prices since 2023, according to the European Central Bank consumer price index. A euro today only buys 99.010% of what it could buy back then.
