Dec 12, 2014 at 10:48	comment	added	JonathanReez		My question is specifically about whether the public perception of prices increasing after switching to Euro is wrong. Therefore personal experiences are hard to accept as an answer.
Dec 12, 2014 at 10:09	comment	added	algiogia		@JonathanReez The "adoption of Euro" itself was not a direct cause, but it helped the merchants to raise the prices. In an imaginary world where statistics effectively represents what happens, you may be right. But we've seen prices double within a week. That's not inflation.
Dec 11, 2014 at 16:57	comment	added	JonathanReez		The high inflation between 1985 and 1995 shows that adopting the Euro in 1999 was unlikely to cause significant price increases on it's own.
