HICP - Overall index, Netherlands, Monthly
Additional information about the time series
The timeline shows the inflation rate measured by the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) in Netherlands from December 1996 to November 2025. In November 2025, the HICP inflation rate in the euro area decreased to 2.6 in November 2025 compared to 3.0 in October 2025.
Inflation is the general increase in the overall price level of goods and services typically bought by households (citizens). It is measured as the average price change over a given period of time for a basket of goods and services that are typically bought in the economy. In the euro area, it is measured as changes in the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) compared with the same period one year earlier (“year-on-year” changes).
As of 4 February 2026 onwards, the euro area HICP inflation will undergo major methodological changes, according to the announcement by Eurostat. On the same day, the ECB will also discontinue the current Indices of Consumer Prices - ICP dataset on the ECB Data Portal and replace it with a new HICP dataset that will accurately reflect the methodological changes by Eurostat.
