(RTTNews) - Finland's consumer price inflation accelerated further in September to the highest level in just over two-and-a-half years, data from Statistics Finland showed on Wednesday.

Inflation based on transportation quickened to 8.9 percent from 7.3 percent amid higher fuel costs, and that for housing and utilities rose to 1.6 percent from 1.3 percent.

Meanwhile, the deflation in clothing and footwear prices eased to 0.9 percent from 1.6 percent.
