Consumer Prices In Hungary Start To Rise Again
Consumer prices in Hungary edged up an annual 0.1% in July, rising after three consecutive months of declines, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) reports. Consumer prices dropped 0.3% in June and by 0.1% in both May and April.

Analysts had put July CPI around the zero mark. In a month-on-month comparison, consumer prices were up 0.2%.

The year-on-year headline figure was lifted by higher prices for services, fuel, alcohol and tobacco.

Core inflation, which excludes volatile fuel and food prices, was an annual 2.6%.
