Anyone who has looked at their statements in the past few weeks will have thought to themselves: Wasn’t that even cheaper? In fact, everything seems to be getting more expensive these days. The Federal Statistical Office determined that the inflation rate was more than three percent last year. This is the highest value since 1993.
