01/22/2026 - 19:17:00 (RTTNews)

(RTTNews) - Consumer prices were down a seasonally adjusted 0.1 percent on month in December, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said on Friday.

That missed forecasts for a flat reading following the downwardly revised 0.3 percent increase in November (originally 0.4 percent).

On a yearly basis, consumer prices were up 2.1 percent versus expectations for a gain of 2.3 percent and down from 2.9 percent in the previous month.

Core CPI was up an annual 2.4 percent - in line with expectations and down from 3.0 percent a month earlier.
