During February, prices have increased across almost all categories of goods and services, except clothing and footwear, the agency said.

The annual price growth in food and non-alcoholic beverages quickened to 5.1 percent from 4.2 percent. Housing costs surged 8.0 percent from last year, and inflation based on transportation was also 8.0 percent, though down from 9.6 percent. Data showed that clothing and footwear prices were 1.3 percent less expensive.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices climbed at a stable pace of 1.4 percent.
