(Reuters) – Inflation in the euro zone increased year-on-year in April at the pace indicated by the first estimate, show final data published on Friday by Eurostat.
Over one year, the consumer price index calculated according to European HICP standards stood at 2.4%, as indicated in the “flash” estimate and in the Reuters consensus, after an identical rate of growth in March.
From one month to the next, inflation in the 20 countries having adopted the single currency was, however, slightly lower than at first reading, recording an increase of 0.6%, compared to an initial estimate of 0. 8%.
