The consumer price index, or CPI, climbed 4.0 percent year-over-year in March, unchanged from February.

Inflation based on transportation eased to 0.5 percent from 2.1 percent, while clothing and footwear prices dropped by 1.4 percent.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.2 percent in March, slower than the 0.6 percent increase in the prior month.

EU-harmonized inflation also rose marginally to 4.0 percent in March from 3.9 percent in February. Month-on-month, the harmonized index of consumer prices, or HICP, increased 0.3 percent.
