Energy prices fell further: after 2.6 percent in June, the decline was 2.4 percent in July.
Meanwhile, core inflation – which excludes energy, food, alcohol and tobacco – remained unchanged at 2.3%, the lowest level in the euro area since January 2022.
In the European Union, consumer price inflation accelerated to 2.4% in July, year-on-year, from 2.3% in the previous month.
