Italy's annual inflation rate
for February was 0.4%, down from 0.5% in January, according to a
preliminary estimate released by ISTAT on Friday.
"The slowdown of the growth on annual basis of all-items
index was mainly due to the deceleration of prices of
non-regulated energy products (from +3.2% to +1.2%), of services
related to transport (from +2.6% to +1.5%) and, to a lesser
extent, of tobacco (from +2.9% to 1.5%) and unprocessed food
(from +0.8% to +0.2%)," the national statistics agency said.
