Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages grew 5.1 percent annually in August, and clothing and footwear prices were 3.4 percent higher. Meanwhile, transport charges were 2.3 percent less expensive.

EU-harmonized inflation also rose to a 4-month high of 1.9 percent in August from 1.6 percent in the prior month. That was slightly above the 1.8 percent seen in the flash estimate published earlier.
