Costs for housing and energy grew 1.4 percent from last year, and communication charges were 0.7 percent higher. On the other hand, transportation expenses dropped 2.1 percent, and prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages decreased 0.2 percent.

Core inflation that excludes unprocessed food and energy also remained stable at 0.9 percent.

Prices for international package holidays and for daily and periodical subscriptions increased, while those for supplementary accommodation and the hire of private means of transport decreased.
