Italian inflation fell to 1.1%
in September from 1.2% in August, ISTAT said in its preliminary
estimates Friday. The retail price index fell a monthly 0.3%,
its sharpest drop in almost two years - since November 2015 when
it was 0.4%. The statistics agency said the drop was largely due
to a fall in transport costs. The prices of the most frequently
bought goods in Italy's inflation trolley rose an annual 1.2% in
September compared to 0.6% in August, largely due to the prices
of fresh vegetables, ISTAT said in its preliminary estimates
Friday.
