For the second month in a row, the yearly inflation reading for the Netherlands rose, reaching 6.1% for May, according to preliminary data from Statistics Netherlands (CBS) which were released on Thursday.

In recent months, the growth of consumer prices has accelerated, increasing from March’s 4.4% to 5.2% in April on an annual basis. Energy prices, which fell less in May than in previous months, have been largely driving the trend.

The price increases have also been boosted by the rise in the prices of food, beverages, and tobacco. In May, grocery inflation fell slightly to 12.8%, from April’s reading of 13.2%, however it still exceeded estimates.

Industrial good prices increased 8.9% in May, up from 8.3% the previous month. However energy, including motor fuel, saw prices fall 18.5% last month, after declining over 22% in April, according to the data.

The CBS noted the costs of services, such as cafes, bars, and amusement parks rose to 6.1%, from 6% in April.

The figure from the CBS based on the harmonized European measurement method, which removes the effects of rental housing, registered inflation in the Netherlands as 6.8% in May, which was a full percentage point up from April’s reading.
