Czech consumer price inflation rose to 5.8% year-on-year in October from 4.9% in September, the highest since October 2008, data from the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO) on Wednesday show.
The biggest influence on the growth of the year-on-year price level in October came from prices in 'housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels', the Prague-based agency said.
Price growth of materials and services for the maintenance and repair of the dwelling accelerated to 8.5% and prices of solid fuels to 3.4%.
Cost for electricity increased by 3.1% and natural gas prices advanced 2.6%. Prices of goods in total and services went up 5.4% and 6.6%, respectively.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices gained 1% in October.
