欧盟统计局日前公布的修正数据显示，欧元区今年3月份通货膨胀率升至2.7%，高于此前预测的2.6%，同时也远高于欧洲中央银行为维持物价稳定所设定的2%的警戒线。自去年12月以来，欧元区通胀率已连续四个月突破2%.
推动欧元区通胀率持续上扬的主要因素是国际原油等大宗商品价格上涨。今年3月份，欧元区能源价格同比上升13%。
欧盟统计局的数据还显示，欧盟今年3月份的通胀率也由前月的2.9%上升至3.1%，而去年同期为2.0%。在欧盟27个成员国中，爱尔兰通胀率最低，仅为1.2%；罗马尼亚最高，达到8%。
Annual inflation in the euro zone rose to 2.7 percent in March, higher than previously forecast 2.6 percent and exceeding the 2-percent target preferred by the European Central Bank (ECB) to maintain price stability，according to the revised figure published by the European unio (EU)'s statistics office (Eurostat). It marked the fourth month that eurozone inflation stayed above the two percent ceiling preferred by the ECB.
Rising energy and commodity prices were the main reason for the jump in eurozone inflation. In March, energy prices in the euro zone grew by 13 percent compared with the same period last year.
Meanwhile, annual inflation in the 27-nation EU increased to 3.1 percent in March, up from 2.9 percent in February and 2.0 percent a year earlier, Eurostat said.
Among EU member states, the lowest annual rate was observed in Ireland, which was 1.2 percent, while the highest in Romania, 8.0 percent.
