Italy’s annual inflation rate rose to 4.2% in September, up from 3.3% in August, according to data released on Wednesday by the Italian statistics office (Istat).
The agency explained that this sharp increase was mainly driven by surging energy and food prices, pushing the inflation rate well above the European Central Bank’s target of 2%.
In a related context, experts warned of a significant surge in energy bills for British households starting next January, with the average annual energy bill expected to rise by around £300, against the backdrop of gas supply disruptions linked to escalating tensions in the "Middle East."
