Inflation, based on the EU measure of the harmonized index of consumer prices, was steady at 4.6 percent after accelerating in August. HICP was 0.2 percent.

Among the main CPI components, services inflation was the strongest at 6.0 percent. Prices of food, beverages and tobacco rose 5.6 percent from the same month a year ago.

Energy inflation was also strong, at 4.5 percent and prices of non-food industrial goods excluding energy rose 0.5 percent.

The CPI rose 0.4 percent month-on-month in September following a 0.1 percent modest increase in the previous month. The HICP decreased 0.6 percent after a 0.2 percent rise in August.

The CBS is set to release detail data for September inflation on October 15.
