Further, this was the highest inflation since March 2024, when prices had risen 2.9 percent.

Transport costs rebounded 1.2 percent annually in September versus a 2.3 percent fall a month ago. The yearly price growth in clothing and footwear accelerated to 3.7 percent from 3.4 percent.

Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages grew 4.7 percent from last year, though the pace of growth eased from 5.1 percent in August.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices dropped 0.2 percent in September after rising 0.4 percent in August. The HICP also showed a decrease of 0.2 percent.

Separate official data showed that industrial production expanded 24.4 percent annually and by 9.6 percent monthly in August. From June to August, production in manufacturing industries was 14.4 percent higher when compared with the same three-month period in 2024.
