Energy prices decreased 1.9 percent year-on-year after a 0.5 percent drop in the previous month. The decline was the worst since August when they fell 2.0 percent. Services inflation softened marginally to 3.4 percent from 3.5 percent.

Prices of food, alcohol and tobacco increased 2.5 percent year-on-year following a 2.4 percent rise in November. The rate of increase in prices of non-energy industrial goods eased to 0.4 percent from 0.5 percent.

The HICP rose 0.2 percent month-on-month in December, in line with the initial estimate released on January 7.
