Prices jumped 35.9% year-on-year in December, the fastest annual pace since data began to be released in January 1976. In November, 12-month growth was 33.1%.
Energy spending led most of the increase, up 95.9% year-over-year in December, INE said, driven by higher electricity generation, transmission and distribution costs.

Economists said they expected the government’s preferred measure of the yearly jump in the cost of living – the consumer prices index – to rise from 5.5% in January to almost 8% in April when household energy bills will soar by hundreds of pounds.
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the least generous January clothing and footwear sales since 1990 were responsible for the 0.1 percentage point increase in the annual inflation rate last month. Prices actually fell on the month but by a smaller amount than in January 2021.

In the 50 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, median rents rose by an astonishing 19.3% from December 2020 to December 2021, according to Realtor.com's analysis of properties with two or less bedrooms. And nowhere was the jump bigger than in the Miami metro area, where median rent rose to $2,850, up 49.8% from the previous year.
Elsewhere in Florida—Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville, as well as San Diego, Las Vegas, Austin, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee—in the Sunbelt—were seeing spikes in more than 25 %.
Rising rents are a growing factor in high inflation, which has become one of the country's major economic problems. The Department of Labor data, which covers existing rents as well as new listings, shows a much smaller increase, but it is also growing. Rents rose 0.5% in January from December, the Labor Department said last week. It may not seem like much, but it was the biggest increase in the last 20 years and it is likely to increase.
Economists worry about the impact of rent increases on inflation because large jumps in new leases affect the US consumer price index, which is used to measure inflation.
Inflation in the US in February reached 7.9% - the highest value in 40 years.

The German Farmers' Association has warned of an "unprecedented spike" in food prices, Spiegel writes, citing the organization's document.
“According to the document, agriculture, as well as the entire food chain, is facing a huge increase in costs, especially in the areas of energy, fuel, fertilizer and logistics,” the publication says. It is also reported that the farmers asked the authorities to immediately take measures to correct the situation.
The document predicts food problems in many regions of the world, primarily in Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
The government has already invited farmers to expand the land they use. And they also ask to be allowed to use pesticides on these lands.
However, Spiegel said that the rise in prices for agricultural products began before the events in Ukraine. In January 2022, they rose 21.7% higher than in the same month of 2021.
In Germany, inflation reached a historical record, rising to 7.3% for the first time in 40 years (against 5.1% a month earlier)
Experts predict a rise in prices for some goods up to 10% by mid-April. According to the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, 94% of food industry firms, 68.2% of goods retailers and 64% of consumer services organizations will raise prices in the next three months.
Real examples - a canister of sunflower oil in Germany has risen in price by 550% in a month, bread - by 7%, heating oil - by 99%.
The last time inflation reached such high levels was 40 years ago - in 1981, during the oil crisis, it was 6.3%.
