The nudge higher owes to base effects, similar to the rest of the euro area. However, core annual inflation is also seen marginally higher on the month - up from 1.8% in October to 1.9% in November. That said, it is still holding under 2% so that's some comfort for the ECB as compared to the likes of Germany.
