Economic History

Korea

Korean price inflation continued to stay at a low level in 2000. The consumer price index grew 2.3% and producer prices grew only 2.0%. Worker demands for higher wages and price jumps in petroleum products are expected to create more inflationary pressure in 2001, with inflation for the year forecast about 4%. (references)

Netherlands

This is by far the sharpest consumer price rise the Dutch have seen since the early 1980's. It has increased inflation well over the eurozone average inflation rate of 2.9 percent and is forecast to catapult the CPI increase to an alarming 4.5 percent in 2001, up from 2.6 percent in 2000. The Government's expectation is that the current inflation surge is a temporary phenomenon caused by higher indirect taxes and that inflation will ease to two percent in 2002. The Netherlands Central Bank (NB) does not subscribe to this view and warned that inflation is likely to stay at the relatively high level of three percent. (references)
