Italy's annual inflation rate
dropped further in February, falling to 0.6%, compared to 0.9%
in January, according to a flash estimate released by ISTAT on
Wednesday.
It is the lowest level since December 2016, when the annual
inflation rate was 0.5%.
A 3.2% drop in the price of fresh food products was a big
factor in the fall.
The national statistics agency said that its consumer price
index was up 0.1% in February in month-on-month terms with
respect to January.
