Unless you're in a highly regulated sector like energy or healthcare, in most countries you don't need an excuse to hike prices.
Again, the "prices are higher cuz corporate greed" logic fails to account the basic fact that companies are always profit maximizing and no relevant legislation related to corporate profits was passed in most countries. If they can increase prices without losing customers, they will.
So, again, what has changed? Search for the balance sheet of your local central bank and you will have an answer.
