Inflation was 1.2% compared with the same month of the previous year. These are the results from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
The stability of the index compared with the previous month is the result of opposing trends that counterbalanced each other overall. Airfares and prices for international package holidays decreased. In contrast, prices for clothing, footwear and housing rental increased.
