Analysis of the European Plumbing Services HICP reveals significant variation in inflation rates in 2024, with Lithuania experiencing the highest hike at 29.2%, followed closely by Hungary and Bulgaria. Notably, Western European countries like Italy, France, and Ireland observed minimal increases, hovering around 2.9% to 2.6%, while Slovenia recorded the lowest at 0.9%.
