The annual price growth in manufactured products accelerated to 1.82 percent from 1.33 percent.

Food prices remained flat in December after falling 2.6 percent in November, while costs for primary articles showed a renewed increase of 0.21 percent. Data showed that the price decline in fuel and power deepened to 2.31 percent from 2.27 percent.
