The CNB comments on the September 2003 inflation figures

8.10.2003

 

The monthly decline in consumer price inflation was roughly in line with the CNB's forecast. The overall slightly lower-than-predicted annual rise in inflation in September and the entire third quarter reflects the ongoing anti-inflationary conditions in the domestic economy, competition on the goods and services markets and the effects of weak inflation expectations amid long-lasting inflation moving around zero.
