Episode Why is my life so expensive?

0:00 16:57

Catherine’s favourite falafel wrap went from €5 to €7 – and it sent her down a rabbit hole. Join our host as she explores a simple question: why do prices seem to be going up all the time? Along the way, you’ll uncover what’s behind the cost-of-living squeeze, why it hits people differently and what the ECB is doing about it.

The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank.
