The figure represents the lowest inflation rate since February, mainly due to a faster drop in transport prices (-5.8% vs -4.8% in July).
Elsewhere, inflation was steady for food and non-alcoholic beverages (at 3.1%) and miscellaneous goods and services (at 0.6%). On the other hand, costs advanced faster for housing and utilities (1.5% vs 1.4%); furniture and household goods (1.9% vs 1.8%) and alcoholic beverages and tobacco (0.6% vs 0.7%).
On a monthly basis, consumer prices went up 0.2%, after a 0.5% drop in July, Instat said on September 8.
