Food inflation moderated to 5.0 percent from 5.8 percent, and inflation based on non-food items softened to 7.9 percent from 12.3 percent. Services costs grew sharply at a stable pace of 13.7 percent from last year.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices moved up 0.6 percent.

The EU measure of inflation, the harmonized index of consumer prices, climbed 8.2 percent annually in July, slower than the 9.2 percent surge in June.
