Core inflation also moderated to 5.0 percent from 5.7 percent a month ago.

The annual price growth in food products moderated to 5.4 percent from 7.0 percent, and costs for services grew at a slower pace of 7.0 percent versus a 7.5 percent surge a month ago.

Similarly, inflation based on clothing and footwear eased to 1.6 percent from 2.3 percent.

On a monthly comparison, consumer prices edged up 0.2 percent after remaining flat in the previous month.
