Why it matters for cross-border payments
Revisions from the flash are usually small, but the country detail shows where inflation sits across the euro area, which the ECB weighs at its next meeting.
Exchange rates can move sharply in the minutes after a release. If you are converting a large amount, knowing when the figure lands helps you decide when to book it.
