The German statistics office, for example, has calculated that, since 2000, the price of a man's haircut has risen 7%, a breakfast roll is up 13% while tram tickets are 17% more costly. In France, a cup of coffee in a café has risen 45%, and a baguette is up 40%, according to the French statistics office.
