Statistics Netherlands reported this on Thursday morning. According to the statistics office, consumer goods and services were 10.3 percent more expensive in July than in the same month a year earlier.
In June inflation was still 8.6 percent. The increase was mainly due to the price developments of energy and house rents.
Last week, CBS already reported that inflation based on the European measurement method has clearly risen again after a few months of decline. That inflation figure even rose to 11.6 percent. But in that calculation, the costs for housing, such as rents, were not taken into account.
