Figures from the EU statistical agency Eurostat showed consumer prices across the 20-country bloc rose at an annual rate of 2.9% last month, up from 2.4% in November.
In the flash estimate for December, inflation in food, alcohol and tobacco prices continued to moderate, easing some of the pressure on households across the bloc as the rate across those categories dipped from 6.9% in November to 6.1% last month.
