Swiss Inflation has risen by 0.6% last month, compared to a year earlier. Crucially this matched April’s increase but came in below the projected 0.8% increase. Petrol products cost nearly 18% more, with these increases linked to The Middle Eastern conflict. On a monthly basis, consumer prices across the board increased by 0.2% – contributed by higher costs for Petrol, Car Rentals and Vegetables.
