Lithuania’s EU-harmonized annual inflation rate was one of the lowest across the EU in June, the latest figures from Eurostat, the bloc’s statistics office, showed on Wednesday.
Lithuania’s annual inflation stood at 1 percent last month. Lower rates were only reported by Italy (0.9 percent) and Finland (0.5 percent), whereas Latvia and Estonia recorded the inflation rates of 1.5 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively.
Over a month, prices remained unchanged in Lithuania and Latvia but went up by 0.5 percent in Estonia.
Year-on-year, consumer prices rose by 2.6 percent on average across the EU, and by 2.5 percent across the euro area last month. Month-on-month, they edged up by 0.2 percent in both the EU and the euro area.
