Belgium: energy inflation rate by commodity 2024

The inflation rates of various energy commodities in Belgium plummeted in the first half of 2023. Gas saw a steep decrease, with the inflation rate standing at -74.3 percent in October 2023 after it had peaked in September 2022 at 129.9 percent. These developments occurred following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has been the cause of uncertainty over Europe's security of gas supply, as well as intense energy price volatility. However, in 2024, the prices have recovered compared to the previous year.
