Further, this was the weakest inflation rate since March 2019, when prices had risen 1.7 percent.

The annual price growth in food and non-alcoholic beverages eased notably to 0.3 percent in March from 2.8 percent in the prior month. Similarly, clothing and footwear prices rose at a slower rate of 1.1 percent versus a 2.6 percent gain a month ago.
